Hi all. Just thought I’d join and tag on my experience. I’ve had the same problem that has been talked about on here. From what I can tell, I’ve managed to fix the problem but cause another. The original fault was that it was stopping with no reason or indication. As far as the panel was concerned, it was drying but nothing was turning. Unplug it for a period and it would spring to life. As others have said, it sounded like a an over heating issue. Considering the mains was going straight to a PCB as the first port of call, I suspected that would be a good place to start. It’s never easy to see bad solder joints so I just removed and resoldered what I considered doable on the board. Put it all back together and something had changed. The week before, I had taken a short look and found that I could run the machine as long as the sides were on. This time, I tried to run it with the top panel off and it would start and then instantly stop, going into Pause mode. I thought my gamble hadn’t paid off and it was now time to buy another one. But I then found that when I put the top on, away it went. It did a 2 hour cycle, merrily. Happy days.
Since then though, the M-in-L (it’s not my machine), reported that it went back into Pause the next day. I told her to whack it and off it went again. Seems to me that I may have fixed the original problem but at the same time caused another! I can’t see anything obvious as far as an intrusion sensor goes. Does anyone know how Grundig or Beko do this?? Is there a light sensor? It’s frustrating.
