The dryer will turn and heat for about 50 seconds then stops. The Water Tank light flashes. Their is no water in the container and I cannot see any water in the sump.
When the customer reported the fault she said a E12 error was in the display.
A couple of months ago I fitted a new heater. The thermostat was open circuit on the original heater.
Anyone had this fault ?mikehha wrote:have got the same fault on the same dryer did you manage to find the fault
did yours show a fault code ?

have emailed the test routine

thanks for the info Dave she was a bit right not 12 flashes but E12 and that is something to do with a pressure switch but I can`t find a pressure switch anywhere and I don`t know why there would be one as the water container is underneath the condenser.DO you know the value of the thermistors ?
again thanks for the information mikemade no sense for me either
no I have not got ntc info but cant see why it would throw up that code
Dave
One for you all to file away two red thin wires go to the front thermistor . two thin yellow wires go the thermistor on the back of the condenser box BUT the two green wires go to a float switch which was stuck closed hence the fault shown. Sod to do as you have to take the drum out .Hope this helps mike
If ever you get a check water fault on a condensing dryer and the chamber isn’t full.
It because float is activated. Some machine use two metal pins and they get gunged up to complete circuit for similar fault.
Often the pump will be clogged or failed. Or float is misleading.
Can remove condensing tray, pour in a little water. Run machine and see if it fills chamber.
If it does, it’s not the pump, so float.
If the water doesn’t reach the chamber it’s the pump.
Hate candy/hoover dryers for this reason. Even changing a motor capacitor is a mission!
