John Lewis Heat Pump flashing “dryer cycle” sign

[ec362]

Not yet. Where do I find those? Thanks so much for your help

[ec362]

Aha. The connections of the wiring look sound (as much as my untrained eye can tell). But I can see one of the wires appears to have taken an impact of some kind as here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sxz4qg_6E_fPUrcrMwfoYbnD84yDieHM/view?usp=sharing
Presumably this would be the issue. Can I strip and reconnect these or does it need something more substantial?

Looking more carefully, the broken one appears to be going from the PCB control module at the top of the machine all the way down the side of the machine to the motor assembly, then into the motor through a junction box

Hi Dave. Don’t know if you have any more thoughts but I’ve stripped the wires that were cut/nearly cut and attached them again. I’m still unfortunately getting the clicking sound from the control module at the top of the machine, and no movement at the motor. Any final thoughts or am I right in thinking I probably need to ditch… thanks

my next job would be to check the motor windings for continuity

if ok

check pcb relays for bad solder joints

Thanks Dave. I will check the continuity. The PCB relays may be more of a challenge as I don’t have the manual/diagrams. Do you have a link for this? Cheers

[electrofix]

your not looking for diagrams
find the relays and check all solder joints

bought a faulty AEG dryer off ebay some years ago for £8 and one bad solder joint in the motor circuit stopped it

Ok, will do.Thanks Dave, will come back when I know!
