Hi guys
I replaced the rear pulley wheel which runs the hot air fan on the above machine (s/n 14978146 PNC 916096803/00) yesterday as the centre was worn and it was wobbling all over the place. When I tested the machine afterwards, there was little or no heat being generated so I ran the diagnostics check to see what was going on. It’s’ showing an E32 error which is indicating a fault with the sensor circuit through the drum. The machine’s only a couple of years old and both the front and rear brushes look fine.
All the initial functional tests around the diagnostic work OK until I get to no.6 (the one where the compressor runs) when the machine seems to go ‘dead’ after a couple of seconds (all LEDs off, no action from any components). The next step is the sensor test and I get E32 at this stage.
I’m going to do the normal ‘unplug/refit all the connections on the board’ to see if this resolves the fault but I don’t want to think about replacing the main pcb (suggested by fault table on Procorner) unless as a last resort.
Any ideas/experience of this scenario? (And apologies for all the brackets).

Have you did testing on both halves of drum, sometimes excess fluff will cause an E32.
Re: John Lewis (Electrolux) Heat Pump Dryer JLTDH14
Do you mean continuity between the drum and the brush on the front and back halves? The unit is very clean so I don’t think it’s a fluff problem preventing the brushes from connecting.
Re: John Lewis (Electrolux) Heat Pump Dryer JLTDH14
In these dryers the conductivity sensors is made up of two brushes, the two halves
and the drum & the electronics for measuring.
E32 means that in diagnostics at test position 7 has not noticed the short circuit of the drum (that YOU the engineer should put in place) if a short circuit is not noted in the 4 second duration of the test it will show E32.Re: John Lewis (Electrolux) Heat Pump Dryer JLTDH14
Oh hell, yes! I’ve worked on enough Miele Professional dryers to know that they’ll sense ‘no load’ without providing a short or damp washing when testing. You’d think after 30 years fixing these thinks I’d remember something bloody basic like that. Thanks for putting me right Seamy – I’ll have another blast at it tonight.
