No power on Candy GVC D101WB

[mike08]

Have an issue here with our tumble dryer which only happened yesterday. No power coming to the unit at all. Had a look at the plug and it had a brown mark on it, like overheating/burning or a short, so I checked the fuse and it was fine. Just cut off the old plug which was a sealed unit as I assume there had been a short in the wire inside and fitted a new plug. Still not a thing when I turn the dial on?? Double checked washing machine in same socket and its working fine.

My question is…
Is there a simple fuse/cutout switch etc located on the tumble dryer anywhere before I start digging deeper trying to trace electrics? I would have assumed there was a thermal cutout protection which maybe is used to bring a heating element back on, but this is total loss of power to the unit with absolutely no signs of life or nothing on the display

Thanks

you need to check if live and neutral are getting to the board

if yes its a board problem

Found the original purhase invoice along with an extra 4 year warranty, so I have left it alone and contacted the seller as it’s covered under their extended warranty. Using a meter with non contact voltage sensor which I forgot I had, I see their is power entering the rear of the machine anyway, so looks like it’s going to be something internal like a board

does sound like a board problem. great you found the warranty as they will just swop board
