Update August 2022: – only just found out what it is . Its to be used with a special samsung diagnostic service cable that plugs into a phone:
https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/x361/Andyr_45/hass_cable_clip(2).jpgand the software is called Home Appliance Smart Service app – (only an approved Samsung engineer can order and get login details for it though) It is used to diagnose faults on the washing machine and faulty components.

Thank you Dave for the answer – i wonder why the pipe to the door gasket is not there at all on my model? – do you fix these models Dave? , have all the other models got this fitted?

idler pulleys are a common failure on these dryers
Dave
Cheers dave. OK then I will just leave the pulleys as is then and just replace them if they get bad. as I say a lot more quieter since i sprayed there with wd40
electrofix wrote:you may have to ring and ask
To be honest most of the apps are a waste of time. These have been developed in the hope people would pay extra for the facility but that did not happen. Its just something else to go wrong that makes the units more complex
hope you sort it
Dave
Thanks, Yeah I will try ring them or try sending an email. – to be honest, never done my research right beforehand and i thought the app sent a message to your phone when the tumble dryer had finished its cycle because its in another room and i never hear the end of cycle jingle/beep tumble dryers make – but now i realise (think) that they are the ‘dynamic next’ range of hoover tumble dryers that have wi-fi and the cheaper one I got only has NFC where you have to touch the phone to the front panel of the tumble dryer .
Still, I still like some features of the NFC feature. – like last night i done a diagnostic test on the tumble dryer through the wizard app and after a minute the tumble dryer came back with ‘100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} health” – it checked the motor , heater, and sensors so that’s quite a handy feature for the future should I predict something is up with the dryer. and the downloading of extra cycles as well , I suppose that might be a good idea .. or might just turn out to be a gimmick. At the moment I just set the cycles through the on machine selector knob which is much less faffing about than calling up the app, and touching the phone to the fascia and waiting for it to transmit the cycle to the machine.
did you ever get it fixed [USER=”56464″]Dingleby9[/USER] ? – I had my hoover DXC9DG-80 all apart a couple of days ago to give it a real good vacuum out and noticed I think it were 3 NTC sensors in the dryer (apart from the ones on the heater unit) 2 at the bottom front of the drum (one has plastic cover and the other a metal face) and then once the drum is taking out there is another one bottom left at the back on the condenser body .
Sorry, i know the original post was in 2017 but have only just read it now. I think when you buy new the reservoir (where a float is) is empty and that maybe has to fill up before any water passes onto the tank underneath the condenser.
did Argos ever take it back for you L333 ? – if they did, what model did you replace it with?
Yes, I in same boat . Changed a vented Beko tumble dryer for a Hoover Condenser . Like all the features on the Hoover dryer but hate how hot and humid it makes the room – with vented it just takes all that humid hot air out through the wall, much better. I still have the vent in the wall , and the hose going to it and I am always thinking (although it would look ugly and not practical) i wonder if somehow I could attach the 4″ vent hose to the round vent at the bottom right of the hoover tumble dryer where the heat comes outelectrofix wrote:to be honest your both right
the rear carbon brush does connect ot earth but the front and rear of the drum is electrically isolated so the second carbon brush running on the front section (item 184) is the sensing wire from the module
what this means from our previous conversation is the front part of the drum has no solid earth connection only a sense wire to the pcb and athough this will stop static it will in no way protect anyone should the drum become live
so even in this case the manufacturer so no need to earth the drumDave.
ah right Thanks for clarifying that Dave
iadom wrote:The carbon brush is NOT an earthing device. …
ah right thanks – I was just going by this diagram from here which said 584a was an ‘Electric Brush Earth Carbon‘
Number 584A is a carbon brush for earthing purposes isnt it?
even those cheap white night tumble dryers have earthing strap on them
Meant to have said I have come across when I have fixed old dryers that the earthing straps used to have a carbon piece on a ‘springy’ tip that touched the drum shaft, but I dont suppose you can get them these days can you still?
electrofix wrote:that why i have a miele appliance much better build quality and the element power goes through a seperate relay not though a cheap door switch etc
as for you earth strap all you need is a piece of phosphor bronze strip or wire and make your own
or use fabric conditioner which is anti static
Dave
Thanks Dave – i can most probably knock up a strip of metal. Do you know if it would have to be brass or would something else do? if i were making something in the picture?(I think that was off a Hotpoint dryer)
A bit off with static dryer sheets after reading in the past they leave a ‘film’ inside the dryer on parts. I think I even read once that a dryer sheet got sucked into the dryer or vent hose and caused a fire in a house. Plus the dryer has a sensor and i think I read dryer sheet can leave a film on the sensor and then sensor needs cleaning , and believe me they have put the drum sensor in a stupid place in this new Beko dryer now , underneath the fluff / lint filter – really hard to get to, to clean – at least on the old Beko’s it was in the drum at the bottom on 2 strips of metal which was easy to keep clean.Yeah , we use lenor fabric conditioner .. is there a special one for anti static is there on the market?

…… the dryer will have been extensivly tested to pass european and british standard who would have objected had it been unsafeDave
hmm, I am a bit sceptical about things being passed and then recalls on indesit hotpoint and the like with cheap contacts in the door interlock and potential fire risk or on other items where there are recalls and of course recalls on Beko dryers as well for safety. Surely if they were checked that thoroughly in the first place they wouldn’t make it to market with these faults

I do apologise, I agree my 45+ years plus experience in the trade counts for very little, however during that 45+ years I have found that a faulty wall socket earth is the most common cause of people feeling even the slightest tickle from an appliance.
You are obviously far more knowledgeable than I am so I will withdraw.
No I apologise . It wasnt my intention to question your experience – of course you are more experienced than I am on the subject. I was only opening a discussion on it

totally agree with that
I do think it should have been fitted but if it cost 1p and can be eliminted they will do it
Dave
Yes I will agree with that – shame though . I know now that what is seen cannot be unseen. And i know now that if i keep getting static electric shocks I will more than likely order one of them and fit it myself. The holes are there behind the drum, even the screw hole is tapped there in the metal for it . Pricey around a tenner for a small bit of metal – maybe I can pick one up somewhere off an old hotpoint or indesit one
