Hi thanks for the replies. The Samsung warranty is five years parts and labour just after an inkling if the AEG is likely to be a better product overall and outshine any issues that may surface with the Samsungs past year 5 .
in summary given the prices and warranty cover which would you buy?
samsung series 5 DV80TA020TH/EU with 5 year warranty £405 A++ rated
samsung series 5+ DV90T5240AN/S1 with 5 year warranty £450 after cashback A+++ rated
AEG T7DBK840N at £500 with 2 years warranty A++ rated.
Thanks for the reply, if I could ask for some added inputs as usually I wouldn’t hesitate to order AEG/ NEFF but the 5 year warranty on new technology of heat pump dryer is attractive
i have three options

So I got the circuit for main board and the 5v and switched transistor ground is correctly sending the start compressor voltage to the invertor board. I can get the output from main board to toggle if I I enter diagnostics and enter FF and DF to force compressor on and off. The compressor measured at 10ohms between all three phases when measured from the invertor connector and the overload thermal switch is closed. Trying to measure voltage output across the compressor wires at the invertor end of the cable has zero DC volts. I haven’t tried to measure voltage out of the inverter board without the compressor plugged in as concerned the board could be damaged with no load attached. It’s definitely a weird one with the signal being received at the invertor and the compressor measuring out at 10ohms per winding. Could be an overload protection built in to the output device on the invertor if the compressor is kaput. Any thoughts from anyone appreciated. The Samsung labour cost is £99 I hear if it is a compressor fault it’s covered by 10year warranty so could be an option but want to be sure it’s compressor beforre I open myself to their astronomical charge.
here i go with the update…so i gave up with the soldering iron, i actually purchased a brand new invertor PCB from a company which is identical to my unit, however this displays a single flash code error on the invertor topside LED, my old invertor board has 5 flash code error but not sure what the original board flash code was when this all started before i started changing IC’s . So now thinking is this a compressor fault, or mainboard at a push. The compressor coils measure 10 ohms. i know samsung want £99 labour and parts on top but currently the cabinet is 9 years old so the compressor is covered under parts warranty if that is the fault….. its a gamble…. what i did was speak to a british gas engineer who originally drew a blank cause he couldn’t get a PCB, his view is the compressor cannot be change due to diverter valve stopping the bleeding and that if faulty Samsung replace the fridge under warranty if the compressor fails inside 10 years….. any help, confirmation or advice appreciated. Thank you
Dave. Thank you so much for reply. And yes that’s the one. I have removed the 27pin smart power module ic (under the silver heat sink) near the compressor outputs and just waiting for replacement to drop in the letter box before soldering in and re trying. If not will need to know the Vdd voltage of my board as the available one listed for my fridge has 6pins difference a 13.2 v output and a 5v line. May just need to use one but don’t know what voltage my board was producing.
will keep post updated
Wanted to add that the display works as normal and all button features for adjusting temps and vacation mode etc. It just doesn’t get cold and test mode with blank display is not accessible. Thanks
Re: Hoover DYC8913B tumble won’t turn after a push
To be honest I thought there was only a 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} chance of fixing it with the capacitor. I was chuffed at going in thru the fan hole it was so easy. A guy at a local repair shop told me how to do it that way saved hours and thanks for your help in motivating me to have a go anyway
Re: Hoover DYC8913B tumble won’t turn after a push
I also fitted without taking the front off. I went inthru the fan housing only room for one hand but took me 10 mins to take out and 10 mins to have it back in and all screwed back together.
Re: Hoover DYC8913B tumble won’t turn after a push
Well I changed the capacitor today and machine is fixed. Just goes to show that not starting with a push is still possible to fix with a capacitor change.
Re: Hoover DYC8913B tumble won’t turn after a push
I could do this but wanted to try and establish from others that the push start is not always a reliable analysis and in some cases the motor is ok and it’s only the capacitor
Re: Hoover DYC8913B tumble won’t turn after a push
Hello Martin..Thank you for the help…As far as i can see it is in good order…. when i took the heater cover off i was able to easily turn the fan at back of the motor with one finger and this resulted in the drum turning quite easily.
Re: which machine
Considering this, best both world 1400 spin and 8kg with IQ motor. any views please
Siemens WM14S496GB
Re: which machine
Thanks Martin
Agree on the lower spin , end result is 2 {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} less water content that will affect tumble dryer costs ….I played this off against 1kg extra load and less electric and water usage on the 1st machine, this is due to John Lewis having the second machine listed as A+++ but according to Siemens website it’s only A++
So I figured more clothes to a wash, less water and power usage would be a worthy trade
Your comments are appreciated.
Re: neff earth wire 2 element versus 3 ….please help
ok , had to crack on and fix it, so i connected only two power wires to the element and the original earth wires with the eyelet was securely fastened to the adjacent fan mount torx screws which is ideally placed to stop the redundant earth cables from going astray.
multimeter confirms element is earthed, also fitted some star washers to the element self tap screws for good measure
is this ok….. should i have fitted a spade terminal after all and earthd the 3rd terminal on the element?
