LG TD-C70045E 7KG Silver Condensing Tumble Dryer

[GTATTY]

Hi

Could anyone have info on the problem I have with the above product.

We’ve been getting the filter dirty light and beeper coming on for a while now. The filters aren’t blocked and neither is the condenser or heater element assembly.
I’ve had the back and sides off and given it a good vac out. I’ve noticed that the drum sometimes struggles to start turning when the dryer initially starts and the motor appears to buzz.

The belt appears to be fine.

Any help would be appreciated as I think it may now be out of warranty.

Regards

Graham 🙂

I’ve been reading another thread on a Hotpoint Aquarius.

Could it be a knackered Capacitor or one on it’s way out?

Could be the capacitor, a cheap repair or alternatively the motor rather more expensive

Hi All

Just updating to say “success”. Received a new capacitor today from Rapid Electronics. £2.77+vat.
It’s a 10Mfd 450v type with a tolerance of +-5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}.

Fitted it within 5 minutes and Tumble drier now works better than it’s ever done!

Now the drum starts immediately in both directions whereas before it always sounded sluggish.

Hi Graham, I have exactly the same problem with the same model, could you let me know the part number of the capacitor that you ordered please?

For anyone else with the same problem:

You need to remove the top of the drier (2 screws at the rear).

Remove the left hand side cover (looking from the back) – 4 screws.

Unscrew the capacitor retaining nut from the back of the drier, disconnect the 2 spade connectors.

Install new capacitor in reverse order of above procedure!

Literally a 5 minute job which fixed the problem for £9.07 including P&P and VAT.

Regards,

Alan.

With the appliance unplugged from the mains of course! 😉

(does unplugged have 1 g or 2? 😳 )
