    hi guys

    im sure this ones been answered a hundred times already

    the above said condenser dryer (ive searched model number on here)
    starts up and spins, after 5 seconds E15 and all lights on the front flashing
    no head in the drum.
    its been fully cleaned by me
    all dust etc removed from heater matrix and the condenser i washed out its like new again lol

    still same when starting up.

    any ideas ?

    heater matrix ? 2 thermostats above ?

    change all 3 to be sure 🙂

    thanks

    the heaters on these come with the stats and you cant buy them on their own

    you can check stat continuity with a multimeter just make sure you disconnect 1 wire to stop false readings

    hi dave
    thanks for the quick response
    i pulled all wires off the thermostats and get continuity across both of them

    so you recon if i order the heater matrix all should be well ?

    no I doubt the heater is your problem unless you can see any broken elements.

    yes it could be your heater but it could also be the control board. there is a relay on the control board that switches on the heater and this would be my next guess. if you wanted to be cetain on the heater you could remove it and do a resistance check with the meter

    Hmmm
    i ordered new part already lol

    ok so onto the relay
    can you point to me where the control board is ?
    and what part i need to replace ?
    or is it as simple as a dry joint ?

    thanks dave

    as far as I know the control board will be behind the front panel. on this panel will be a relay that switches on the elements. I have had these relays fail on more than one occasion. they are normally readily available and cheap

    Hi dave

    can you say which of the 3 relays need changing ?
    do you stock these ??
    Trying to upload the pic, but the forum only allows 2mb file size iphone quality must be much bigger
    part numbers
    2 x HF3FA 012-ZTF
    1 x G2RL 1A-E-HA

    thanks

    well just guessing here but the second one is rated 16A so more likely to be for the heater

    cant seem to find that one in stock but look at RTH34012

    this is a 12volt coil single pole 16A relay. you need to look at contact positions to see if it will fit. Electrically seems about right

    thanks dave
    i had the 16A relay out and opened it up for testing, was lots of carbon build up and no continuity on the back 4 pins when testing

    so i cleaned the carbon off and the relay seemed fine, i was getting continuity on the pins as per a repair video.

    put it back in circuit and still got E15 with a fill flashing front display.

    ill see what its like after changing out the parts on Tuesday.

    its getting 3 relays and the full heater matrix lol.

    if it dont work after this is getting taken in the garden and set on fire lol

    thanks for your help dave

    OK
    ALL SORTED

    the new heater matrix came today
    it was complete with 2 x thermostats.

    lets just say its nice n humid in my dining room now lol

    thanks for your help dave.

    not sure if reconditioning the relay helped too 🙂
