the only reason is lasted longer was the motor was running half speed

once they all changed at date code 02 all went down hill as you know

dont think i ever changed early clutch shoes or the motor because the pump leaked. never had the early pedestal corrode and push the seal off or the gearbox lower housing wear out and leak oil

think i have a few motors sitting upstairs but am finding stuff all the time as i start a clear out to save anyone after me needing 10 skips lol

i take it the way you are talking is it has to be stopped for 20 mins or it wont start which sounds like an overheat problem

have you tried putting wetter clothes in it when it stops to see if it will restart immediately

Dave

[electrofix]

first thing to check is the timer

it can be in off mode even though the time displays so check that first

after that you need to be able to use a multi meter to check components for continuity

my first check would be the over heat stat often located at the back of the unit

I would need more info to be able to look up the oven and there will be a 10 digit no , often beginning with a 7 which will help me know which unit you have

cant find a thing even on google search until you search and miss the R off

then you get hits and one of them brings you to a haier part no 0060823485

cant say it will fit but its a start

Dave

[electrofix]

have you put it in service mode to check
plus did you check the connections on your last repair

Dave

[electrofix]

correct
actuator contains a heater, when switched on it extends . its not quick takes 15 seconds or so

check the feed components around the triac as they sometimes blow to. there is often other triacs with identical circuits to copy from

as long as the main chip output did not blow it should fix it

ok not got one but if you feel brave and your pump is suitable

the 4 pole and 2 pole pump were essentially the same. the difference was the impellor had 2 less fins and the drive pulley was smaller

there is a seller on ebay selling the early pump ( £16). if your pump is an aluminium base with screws holding a cover on you may be able to remove the pulley (roll pin ) and swop it over. if your impellor shaft is damaged you will have to trim off 2 of the pump vanes on the new impellor

and when you contact the company you get

“Good Morning
Thank you for your message

Sadly we do not have this part available im afraid.
I would recommend looking on a website called Spares2go or a eBay seller called recycle-appliances.
They have universal parts and sometimes actually have Cookology parts specifically,

They may have this part available.

Hope this helps”

someone has the previous pump for sale on Ebay
wont fit yours

on model 1504 date code 02 they introduced the motor you have and the pump. At the same time they took off the lower gearbox bearing support which meant the the lower gearbox bearing wears and starts to leak oil. This led to the pinion wearing in the box
previous motor ran at half the speed and had aluminium clutch shoes like car brake shoes. because pump was running half the speed it had 4 pump blades the later has only 2. That pump lasted that long the common fault on them was the rubber valve used to fail and bounce causing the outlet hose to pulsate

it was a cost cutting exercise but a much more inferior machine

Dave

its a mains operated actuator

i think you will open the timer and find the operating triac with a hole blown out of it

Dave

[electrofix]

i would try running it with the front cover off

that way you can watch the activator to see if it works

also if the old activator went pop inside it may have damaged the board

Dave

[electrofix]

will look in the morning

funnily enough that part number came up in conversation last week as one of those you just remembered because it went that often

Dave

[electrofix]

need to know which dryer you have but if its one of the ones with the water tray at the bottom then there are 2 valves

if you remove a full draw the draw has to seal so it does not leak while your emptying it and there will be water left in the machine so that also has a valve to seal it while the tank is out

Dave

[electrofix]

well you have to remember its not your fault
once you explain it to the customer they will never buy Montpellier again

how old is the appliance ?

Dave

[electrofix]

had similar the other week

no pump , changed board , all ok
