    Anyone seen this before, new to me.

    I was actually doing a rear drum shaft and belt replacement on this machine, a TDC 30.
    After completing the repair, I switched on and it ran perfectly, switch off with the timer knob, motor stops but I can hear the relay buzzing and it is still energized. Open door and relay switches off. Customer says, it been doing that buzzing for ages.

    Almost certainly a timer fault ( none electronic model ) but another one for the memory bank. 😮

    no they do stay energised until the door is opened as some dryers when off do the intermittent tumble…
    they relay is only a means of interlock for when door is opened.
    i got puzzled at first when i heard a coil buzz but quick look at drawings and a new relay later all sorted….
    cheers recall

    Re: Hotpoint Condensor relay?

    I have been to two other TDC30 dryers since the original call for unrelated faults. On both of them, if I switch the timer control to off,
    the relay switches off instantly. There is no intermittant tumble on TDC 30 models and I have returned to the original machine today, had a look at the user manual and there is no mention of this facility. I have also contacted a former colleague who still works for Hotperloni ( over 30 years ) and he also agrees that the relay should de-energise as soon as the timer is switched off on this model.

    I will continue to monitor all TDC 30 dryers to see if this is the norm. It may be that the two that did switch off, have impending relay failure due?

    I am puzzled by this question too?

    Boy! how I wish I could afford the £15 it costs to buy a manual just so I could check the wiring diagram for myself. 👿

    If only PARTFINDER (11 Issue4) had the wiring diagram included eh, then we would all have the answer to this conundrum :rotfl:

    ans:—-

    b4 d.c. 94 the relay coil was feed from the ON/OFF on the timer and after d.c. 93 it was feed directly off the live in to the timer (no switch).
    as per manual 5405770 is/2
    sorry cant get diag on here…..

    but on timer it move from c10 to b10 basically….

    Lucky blighter to have all that info on his Laptop 😥

    All I’ve got is a bl**dy Partfinder CDRom that tells me there are no parts available at all for an Indesit W113UK 👿 (There are many such ‘anomolies’ on ‘Issue Four’ but I have lost interest in noting as I stumble through it)

    “Live Partfinder” now, I like the sound of that idea….I want one!!

    Also DWF30P has “no parts found!”
