CREDA T622CW no heat

[admin]

Hi I have a Creda 622cw serial number 06101080 and it has stopped pruducing heat. The drum turns fine but no heat. I have read about ‘cut outs’ and ‘Thermostats’ but I don’t know what ones I need or indeed, how to replace them as I have no idea what to undo to get to the parts in question.

Any help greatfully received

Thanks

The thermostat kit is p/no. 1701583, in Shop@ at £12.00.

However, if you are unable to make the diagnosis best get some pro help – check Repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.

If you are going to take the back off, pull the plug first. :plug:

Re: CREDA T622CW no heat

When you have taken the screws out of the back. (plug removed)
you will see two thermostats located above the heater. remove the one with the spot (green/red/blue) this is the one that usually goes, although BOTH have to be replaced, When you have removed it, turn it upside down. there is a strip of metal covering the stat.. If this is concave (dipping in) then the stat has gone, if it is convex then the stat is fine. and means your problems lie elseware.

Re: CREDA T622CW no heat

Hi,

I’m looking to replace my thermostat’s on my Creda T622CW condensor dryer for the third time. Why does it have this problem – any ideas?

The dryer is about 1yr old

It worked fine for 1year and now seems to keep failing every couple of weeks. Is there an underlying reason for this?

I’ve read that opening the door mid cycle and/or failing to clean out the condenser can cause the thermostats (at least the one shot 230C one) to fail. My wife isn’t using it any differently than she did for the first year – what could the problem be?

Is there a basic problem with this model? There are lots of posts from folk who seem to be having similar trouble?

Hi Matthew123, posting the same question three times is more likely to irk people than get you a reply, duplicate posts deleted.

This dryer and its Hotpoint twin do have a history of stat failures. I have changed hundreds of them. In a few instances I have had to replace them several times on the same machine. I have quizzed the customers at great length, and gone through all the do’s & don’ts with them. Short of actually moving in with them to see how they are using the dryer there is little else I can do. 🙂

A failing capacitor can cause stat failure but it would generally be quite obvious if this was the case as the dryer would struggle to turn or fail to revolve at all. Internal blockages of the ducting could also be a factor.

I have changed them and not returned for years on others, I cannot put my finger on the exact reason why some fail quicker than others, it would seem that the tolerance of this particular thermostat is very low.

Iadom,

Thanks for the info – looks like I’ve bought a poor model. (It was the cheapest…)
At some point there is a cut off between buying more thermostats and buying a completely new dryer. Don’t know where that is yet! I’ll buy one more set of thermpstats though 🙂

Regards,
Matthew

P.S. Apologies for the duplicate posts – as most of the forum questions were posted ages ago, I thought it would stand more chance of being answered with a scattergun approach. I was wrong – thanks for the prompt response.

Re: CREDA T622CW no heat

No problem 🙂 .

It is quite difficult to access the internal ducting to check for obstructions but you should be able to feel an inward coolish draft at the vent, bottom right and a warmer gentle flow of air from the vents all over the back panel.

It is not unknown for the internal fan that drives the cool air over the condensor to come loose, however this is nearly always accompanied by a loud squealing noise.

Re: CREDA T622CW no heat

Thanks for the advice – I’ll check it out when I replace the thermostats.

Cheers,
Matthew
