Zanussi Nexus4 Cond Drier – cutting out

[MickGeorge]

Hi Folks

Just been to this today and looking for pointers as first real prob I have had with these..

Mod No TCE7124W Prod No 91609256002..

Switch m/c on works ok for a while then and cuts out.. can press start again and m/c restarts, reverses and then cuts out again.. no led flashing apart from heater led.. m/c heats up and all the condenser and ducts look ok – no blocked filter.. When cust first went to it it was all hot and steamy after a couple of hours of use.. sounded like a blockage or fan not working but all looks ok..

Found manual on Distpart Disc and there is a test proceedure which sounds a bit hit and miss but may be a bit clearer when i actually try it out..

Before I went back was just looking for pointers, prob and popular faults that might cause this and if anyone has done the test procedure on these and can just plain speak me through it please..

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the reply Chris bore this in mind when I went back to the call today.. Sorry forgot to say this was one of the humidity sensor type with the the insulator round the middle of the drum isulating the two halves..

Tried the test procedure from the manual but found it all quite confusing as the instructions not all that clear when to take off the sensor short on the drum in the test proceedure so wasnt all that sure if there was a problem on the electronic sensor or not..

Anyway as I had a bit of spare time this afternoon so sat with the machine from cold.. worked ok for about 30 min then found the clockwise rotation started to be intermitant so suspect one of the motor relays on the pcb failing when the m/c warms up as the heater continued to be activated and and after the apropriate time the anti clock rotation kicked in.. did pinch the connector board connections to no avail..

This board looks like a special order from both Connect or Masterpart so before I orded just wondered if someone out there might have had the same problem and conferm a module fault..

Thanks

Mick
