Good evening all,
Wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem with the above tumble dryer?
Evidently, when a programme is selected, and the start button pressed, the start/pause button flashes red (normal) but quickly changes to a flashing yellow led, and beeps three times.
The Drying, Cooling & End lights also illuminate, but no machine action.
I’m due to visit early next week, and as the customer lives in a remote area a long way away, it would be good to have some info,’ or at least have some idea what the above relates to.
Regards,jonty
Have had a look at the dryer now, and struggling to find the cause of the above.
Tried to enter diagnostic mode without any success, as I think it’s more for the dryers with a display.
Also tested door microswitch, as I thought it may be that, as it doesn’t start or tumble etc.
It would be good to know if/what the 3 beeps denote, together with the start/pause button flashing amber as I can’t find such information…
jontycodes on these are the flasing of the start light between red and green
if three beeps mean series 3 faults that makes it a conductivity fault
see the aeg manual page 30

Agreed, May be a conductivity fault, Dave.
However, problem manifests itself by red and amber… do you mean green?
Evidently, this dryer has barley been used in just over 2 years, as it’s a back up, so fault should be “simple to diagnose.”#
jontydoes not mention yellow so i think i would assume yellow is a weak green and see where it takes you
if the red led and the green one mix you get yellow
normally in fault code you get a mix of flashes like 3 red followed by 2 green and repeat
something really odd the way this one is acting. try having another go at diagnostics, i see in this one you have to turn it on first then press buttons when normally you press buttons then turn on
Dave
Well, I had another look at the door microswitch, and wiring multiplug… re-fitted, and lo and behold all fine!
I imagine the above would also account for problems progressing diagnostic mode.
Thanks again,
jonty
Blast!
Customer just called to say fault has recurred…
It was fine for ten days, but now original fault back.
I recall door switch Ohms resistance good, and having nipped up and re-fitted multi plug connection, all good.
Will check wiring harness from the above to board, although suspect faulty board now due to intermittent nature of fault.
