Re: Candy Reverse Action Tumble Dryer

Ok well, first load today went well so i was told. But.. put in a big load tonight which was wet, and after an hour or so it was just heating up and steaming and very little water had collected into the collection tray. Another hour and water was leaking from the drier and has shorted something, so i`ll have to strip it right down and see whats happend. How does the collection tray actually work? Is there a pipe i have maybe knocked off? At least i know the easy way to get into it now.

Any suggestions?

Re: Candy Reverse Action Tumble Dryer

The new heater element arrived today, Thanks 🙂

Then started to wonder how i get the old heater unplugged, flipped it up on its side and tried to take the bottom off the drier, was spot welded on, tried the top.. no use, could only see the drum so we tried sliding the whole drier out of the cabinet. Eventually we managed to get the front off, then.. moved all the cables and everything out of the way but, we foolishly removed to bottom motor mounting bolts and spun the drum, so that knocked the belt and motor off line 😥

Realigned the motor, realigned the drum, unplugged old heater and plugged in new, then after 3 hours put it all back together, but there are 8 screws left and we couldnt find holes for them 😆 I wonder what there for, maybe i could send them back to Candy and say i didnt need these spare screws 😛 😕 fired her up and its just like a new one. Now just the final test, see if it dries clothes once again. Im sure it will, the heater was working perfectly when we tried it the first time.

Thanks for your help

Robert.
