    went out to the dryer the pump was noisy.
    I ordered one and went back a couple of days later and fitted new pump and float switch assembly fairly straightforward.
    But when I switched the dryer on the check condenser light was flashing and it wont go.
    Stuck the old pump back on checked the thermostats but I still cant get it to work.
    Any ideas welcomed.
