hi the door lock seems to be the problem as it makes a buzzing noise not had this before do they still use relays on these dryers ? thanks john
door lock has the start relay in as far as i can make out
is the dryer running but just has a noisy door lock ?
lock should be part no C00141683 but double checkDave
Thanks Dave its not running i have start caps in stock if needed as well but suspect its just the lock
Sounds like duff contacts in the interlock. You don’t normally hear the buzz as the dryer motor starts up.
Power is across 3+4 when the start button pressed. The door interlock buzzes as the solenoid moves to the latched position and the switch closes (4-5) starting the dryer.
If the interlock switch contacts fail then you can hear the relay buzz while the start button is held in diminishing to a purr over a second or so.
Murv..
Thanks Murv i am still waiting for the part to arrive sounds like that is the problem though thanks again John
hi just an update on this i fitted the lock the buzzing has stopped but no motor action i tried pushing the drum still no action , so i changed the capacitor and it worked .my thought now is did the capacitor cause the door lock to fail or did the door lock cause the capacitor to fail or was it just coincidence .if i get this again i will try a capacitor first as its much easier to change Thanks John
