Hotpoint Condensor relay?

[iadom]

Anyone seen this before, new to me.

I was actually doing a rear drum shaft and belt replacement on this machine, a TDC 30.
After completing the repair, I switched on and it ran perfectly, switch off with the timer knob, motor stops but I can hear the relay buzzing and it is still energized. Open door and relay switches off. Customer says, it been doing that buzzing for ages.

Almost certainly a timer fault ( none electronic model ) but another one for the memory bank. 😮

Re: Hotpoint Condensor relay?

no they do stay energised until the door is opened as some dryers when off do the intermittent tumble…
they relay is only a means of interlock for when door is opened.
i got puzzled at first when i heard a coil buzz but quick look at drawings and a new relay later all sorted….
cheers recall

Re: Hotpoint Condensor relay?

I have been to two other TDC30 dryers since the original call for unrelated faults. On both of them, if I switch the timer control to off,
the relay switches off instantly. There is no intermittant tumble on TDC 30 models and I have returned to the original machine today, had a look at the user manual and there is no mention of this facility. I have also contacted a former colleague who still works for Hotperloni ( over 30 years ) and he also agrees that the relay should de-energise as soon as the timer is switched off on this model.

I will continue to monitor all TDC 30 dryers to see if this is the norm. It may be that the two that did switch off, have impending relay failure due?

I am puzzled by this question too?

Boy! how I wish I could afford the £15 it costs to buy a manual just so I could check the wiring diagram for myself. 👿

If only PARTFINDER (11 Issue4) had the wiring diagram included eh, then we would all have the answer to this conundrum :rotfl:

ans:—-

b4 d.c. 94 the relay coil was feed from the ON/OFF on the timer and after d.c. 93 it was feed directly off the live in to the timer (no switch).
as per manual 5405770 is/2
sorry cant get diag on here…..

but on timer it move from c10 to b10 basically….
glad 2 help

Lucky blighter to have all that info on his Laptop 😥

All I’ve got is a bl**dy Partfinder CDRom that tells me there are no parts available at all for an Indesit W113UK 👿 (There are many such ‘anomolies’ on ‘Issue Four’ but I have lost interest in noting as I stumble through it)

“Live Partfinder” now, I like the sound of that idea….I want one!!

Also DWF30P has “no parts found!”
