thanks for your help Penguin45Re: tumble dryer
paddy,
sounds like you have a cic60/01-(37616489)
heres a few things you can do whilst waiting for a reply from the main forum gurus… who may tell you otherwise…
firstly turn off and unplug. you say you took the top off, i know it sounds glaringly obvious, but did you check for a belt? if there isnt one that might be your answer, but if the belts gone theres usually a reason! (normally bearings or/and jockey wheel jamming)
if belt is present and tight on the drum, drag the dryer out, turn on and feel the back of the “L” panel (without unscrewing anything) after 30 seconds it should start to get warm on the back panel but dont run it for too much longer or u might blow the stats if it is getting warm. in theory the internal fan would push the hot air into the drum but not necessarily enough to be noticeable. this will tell u if the machine has a workign heating circuit… OBVIOUSLY DO NOT put your hand anywhere inside the carcass!
if the belt is ok and it gets warm on the back, a rather common failure on hoover/candys is the relay pcb, or occasionally the capacitor on the motor. because the capacitor stores a charge that boosts the motor to overcome the initial inertia of the drum, the capacitor can only really be checked by motioning the drum without the aid of the motor whilst its switched on. for safetys sake this shouldonly be done by an experienced repair engineer. if the drum still doesnt turn, its likely to be the relay.
pcb relay is about £15
8uf capacitor is approx £10
