Re: Whirlpool condenser tumble dryer
I sussed with help from zee web.
This is how you get shot of a fault code, this doesn`t cure the fault it just clears the fault code.
Turn of the tumble dryer and wait about an hour. Then turn back on and turn the dial to dead on 6 o/clock position and the press the start button 3 times. Then turn 1 click to the 7 o/clock position and press start button 3 times then turn to off at 12o/clock. you can then turn to any programme and press start and something should happed until the machine senses the original fault. F07 = no drum action via a sensor near the pcboard but in my case all that was wrong was the belt had snapped. New belt as a pattern part about 14 quid.How come UK Whitegoods didn`t know this?
Re: Lg F1447 TD5 ? Motor fault
I`ve just had the same problem and cured my mates by replacing the Hall sensor. This is the part at about 6 o/clock below the rotor and is clipped on to the stator field coil from behind. You have to remove the 17mm rotor bolt which is locktited then the rotor can be pulled off-check the magnets for any cracks, then remove the the 10mm stator bolts and the 2 wiring loom self tappers and very carefully lower the stator coil. There are two sets of terminals 1 is for the motor winding and the other goes to a white plastic affair with what looks like a black potting filler and that part is the Hall Sensor. Before you unclip it mark its location with a marker pen so you replace it with the new one in exactly the same position. Part should be around £15. Part number on the machine I had for the same model was 6501kw2001a but check as there is another Hall sensor that looks the same but isn`t. Tip before romoving the rotor I marked its position relative to the shaft it pulls away from because it occured to me that it might be balanced realitive to the drum, in other words to make sure everything is how you found it on reassembly.
