LG TD-C70040E Keeps tripping breaker

[KendalDe]

My LG drier keeps tripping mains breaker. There is usually some moisture behind panel on back of appliance. If dried the element inside this panel with a hair drier and appliance worked OK for a while. Trips mains MCB immediately on switch on right now.

Hi

Water building up in rear panel means the dryer is not condensing properly or not taking the water away.

Check that the condenser unit and airways are squeeky clean and that the pump is working it’s best and not blocked/faulty.

I checked the condenser and it’s free of fluff or any blockages. Must be the pump, am I right in saying there are two pumps? One I can see is running fine. Not sure if I can get to or see the second pump. Thanks for your help.

Hi

Just one pump. Sits behind the motor. If it’s running it may just be fluff in the chamber the pump sits in.

Remove the motor to get to it is easyest way.
