Hi experts ,
So i have this dryer , its a model with the water collection tank inside the door, dryer itself works fine , quiet lol, condenses and drys the clothes, EXCEPT when the pump kicks in, GeeeeeUS, its like a Jet taking off , until it stops pumping ,.
Now i know the model of the pump its a very standard widely used one, my query IS how on earth do you change it? , to me it looks like a drum out challenge at the least :mad:, unless it can be accessed by another method , or in fact can it be changed ?

Cheers all
James

no on those dryers its a drum out job

very silly design difficult to do most repairs on those units

Plus when you got the drum out its fiddley to get the pump removed

Thanks guys yeah, id sorta resigned myself that a drum out job was the only way , but, had to ask, yeah very silly design, im guessing the pumps usually are very reliable usually so the location of it didn’t matter,I’ve no issues stripping it, just a flippin pain with Arthritic fingers what do you mean fiddly to change the pump? does the motor have have to come as well to access it? i mean the pump does pump…!, but its very very loud lol, odd is, when its pumping you tip the driver backwards, or sideways , on two feet , the noise stops, but as soon as you pop it back on all 4 feet its there, i think tomorrow ill swear at it a fair bit then attack it on Monday

So as a finish off, when i wrote the initial post id turned the dryer upside down -to have a proper look, then the posts and confirmation, . So i stood there and swore at it a few hundred times, popped it back on its feet in prep for the stripdown, I thought id give it one last go , and Bingo, whatever was causing the high pitched whine has gone 😀 a few more loads to make sure and it hasnt returned, So success in a way…!
