Hi,
I’m looking for help with this washer dryer please. Bought second-hand, the door hinge was bent and not activating the lock properly. I managed to fix this, did a test wash, then moved the machine to another house where it was left sat for a couple of months without use.
When I came to use it again, it’s no longer working. It threw up several errors, and after playing around with the lock again I decided to replace the solenoid. still not working after fitting this, though it does get further. It locks the door. Sometimes it shows error E80, sometimes it operates the fill valve for a couple of seconds, but, on every programme after a few seconds it goes straight to drain cycle, then unlocks the door.
Inside it looks very clean. The motor brushes and commutator look good. Heater element ~32 ohms. I’ve tried disconnecting and re-connecting the connector to the motor and also removed and re-fitted all the connectors to the control pcb.
Any suggestions please? Any sensors I can check?
Thanks in advance,
/Simon
Re: Help with JLWD1408 E80 and going straight to drain cycle
Firstly you will need to check the earth resistance of both wash and dryer heaters. (E80 is loosely associated with a wash pump fault by the way) but overall a secondhand, been in storage under unknown conditions, moisture, damp, knocked from pillar to post and you got yourself a heap of trouble there and make no mistake.
I wish you well and hope you don’t injure or electrocute yourself and others in the process. 🙁

Update.
I’ve run the diagnostics, the fill valve opens briefly, then E84 shows, then the drain pump operates.

Update: Success!
Had I known which pump was the recirculation one I may have found it earlier. (I mixed up the re-circ and the drain pump).
One of the wires to the re-circ pump was broken 😀
All seems to be working now, just need to re-assemble it to try it properly.

I spoke too soon. I’m getting error 36, then error 52 after disconnecting the dryer heater.
I don’t have a megger so have ordered both replacement heater elements.

I haven’t given up yet. I replaced both heater elements New toy, megger, read @ 4.5Mohms on each one. New elements read 0.
It appeared to work. Ran a 30 min. wash without error. But on every wash since, it’s stopped with an error 52. (Motor tacho reading). I happened to notice one time that the motor was surging/running very fast, so there’s definitely some fault in the tacho/feedback circuit, but only intermittent.
Any ideas?
