    Hi Folks

    Been to this today – Customer says stuck on 35min now just does one drum revolution and shuts down – no fault lights or code displayed.

    Tested heater etc as much as possible without big strip down all seems ok although drum sensor carbon looks low but acording to a manual on my van the dry sensor doesn’t kick in till 4min.

    Came home and managed to find some service info and appeares can put into diagnostic mode on these so will be back to do that but just wondered if anyone got some pointers or are there any common problems I should be looking for.

    Would a bad sensor connection shut the machine down this early if it doesn’t sense till 4 mins or if set to time only which doen’t need the sensor? No fault lights of fault code displayed when it shuts down – does this mean pcb fault?

    Any comments gratefully recieved 🙂

    Thanks

    Have had a few of the TCE models that have had capacitor and relay problems on the board..

    They will do one rotation and then shut down for about 2 or 3 mins and then fire up again rotating in the same direction. The relay gives up and sometimes it is caused by the failure of a driver capacitor .. when this happens you loose the reverse tumble.

    Hi folks

    Went back to this a few days ago armed with diagnostics – put into diagnostics and found no recorded fault logged. Tried machine again and all up and running?

    When I looked at this origonally there was a lot of gunk around the back by the heater which I cleared off. Just wondered if water been picked up by the fan and caused earth leakage an heater similar to Hotpoint cond driers?

    Been having megger issues atm as old faithfull given up – so couldn’t test for earth leakage at the time. (How much we depend on meggers these days – its like loosing your right arm when one packs up)

    It may be that it has had time to dry out but everything seemed to be working ok on second visit and couldn’t find any blockages but anyone had problems with damp heaters on these and would this cause these symptoms? If so any comman fault that would cause water to be picked up apart from gunk build up – pump working ok and water reaching container.

    Not come accross water pick up issues on Zan cond driers before so just looking for pointers incase of similar fault or a recall on this.

    Thanks
