3 year old Neff V6320X1GB/7 trips electrics.
Found the dryer overheat stat has an earth fault.
There are signs of corrosion around the seal where the fan motor plate fits the housing, there’s also corrosion where the fan assembly fits the heater matrix as well as corrosion and slight rust marks above the overheat thermostat (which is causing the fault).
I’m planning to replace all associated seals and the overheat thermostat, also sealing the corners where the seals join between the fan housing and heater matrix as original but wondered if there’s anything that could be causing this?
Also, are there are any tech bulletins relating to this?Check the condenser and heater unit for restrictions, including the ducting to door seal mouth. The current dryer assembles seem to block with a waxy gunk in the element box and fan as they inject water into the fan housing.
The seals are quite useless in reality, so I often use the silicone sealant that comes with the dryer heater kit you needed for the modified dryer element. All it is is a heat proof silicone, but was in a reasonable size. I wouldn’t necessarily go changing all the seals, just clean it all up and use a sealant.Kentish wrote:Check the condenser and heater unit for restrictions, including the ducting to door seal mouth.

I had considered using heat resistant silicone as well as replacing the seals but I generally I only use sealant where it’s been used originally. I’ll do as you suggest in this instance though.
