Howdens hja8703 Dryer problem

[folleyball]

Hi Guys

Having all sorts of problems with these machines.
Got a landlord with 6 of these models and the dryers are doing my head in.
I’ve changed the resettable stats, the temperature sensor, i’ve cleared the condenser unit and checked the heater boxes for blockages but still the buttons keep popping up on the stats.
Anybody else had any problems with these lovely Candy machines?

Hi Bob

The part number I have is 41024208

I did read they have increased the max temperature on these cut outs.

that part number is the new cut outs, but replace the NTC probe for drying P/N. 41013142 as well.

Re: Howdens hja8703 Dryer problem

Letting agents called me out to one of these to quote for a new dryer motor. Apparently previous engineer tolsd them they needed one.

Upon investigation I found the dryer motor is fine, but it needs a new dryer fan and fan housing, as somethings been stuck in there and rather chewed it up.

But tenant told me they have previously had an engineer out to it every 2 or 3 months, who would just reset the stats on the top and wait for the next callout.

So could someone send me some tech info on this machine, please, including any relevant tech bulletins?

And also can somebody supply me with the part numbers for the fan and fan box?, since I’ve been trying for over 2 years to get access to GIASTech, but because I’m a sole trader independent who can’t guarantee I’ll be spending £3000+ per year with them, they don’t seem to want to know!

Thanks,
Pigpen.

I’ve got one doing the same.

I have now replaced NTC, resettable stats, Fan, Fan housing and fan motor and the bloody thing is still tripping.

kindling and petrol is the next step..
