If this efficiency is lower in the results after comparing, then the troublshoot tells me to recharge gas or replace complete base (what is this?)

Check the compressor performance
by comparing the temperature data
specified in the chapter (Checking the
heat pump performance).
Are the compressor performance data
the same as those specified?

if yes then : Appliance OK, run the diagnostics
programme.

if no then:
Replace the complete base or
recharge the closed gas circuit.

I took some time to read the service manual I find another one that has extra pages, it shows a troubleshoot for exact my issue: lang cylce and result still not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}. it says to check the efficiiency of the heat pump see page 55 service manual that I shared , but how can I check it? I need to compare it with the graphics.

Dear as dryer was started yesterday and took until in the evening I manages today to open the rearside.

NOt that much dust, I cleaned id. but the belt needs to be replaced.

see pictures.

I tried to use the vacuum cleaner to take the dus out of the heating element, but the dust doesn’t come out.
So what do you think? buy a new one or go for it and disasemble all , to clean the heat element.

or you said that it can be the sensors..
Maybe step by step… (easiest first to try).

Dear Dave, I was gone for a while (holiday). I did’nt yet checked the fan on the rear, will do this today

[Haramo]

So I have to open the rear side and leave it open whiled the dryer turned on ? And then check if the fan drops regularly?

[Haramo]

at 22:15 I saw on the screen 1 (minute) but dryer still active untill 23:15 ! . So from 14:00hours until 23:15 to complete one cylce and now the results:

I could feel some wetness here and there only one smal child underwear I could see it was wet .

and the indicator ‘clean base filters lights up, but after opening the base filters, they are as clean as they can be , as I just clean them .

So after 3 cyles the indicator lights up, even the user manual give as an example … i.e after 3 drying cycles .. and he heat echanger should be cleaned every 6 months.
in general, I would not thing to clean the filter after 3 cylces,but as these cyles took zo much time.. and I would suspect if the cylce took so long, the clohtes would be all dry , but no.. .

There were only 3 small childrens jeans shorts al the rest were most children clothes , and some small wipes (for cleaning the ground of kitchen table, .. ).

If the issue is the fixed heat echanger that is full of dost, that I cannot take out to clean, Then I need to thinks twice before ordering other pieces.. .

Any advise welcome

Dear

The cycle took a long time to finish but the clothes were dry. it’s strange that it took at least 5 hours , even more, to dry.

then my wife told me that the times always are different.

not long now a second group of clothes were put in the dryer, and I don’t feel heat from the door, maybe because the dryer just started for a few minutes… .

Will follow up.

How come the dryer takes more time to finish one cycle?

[Haramo]

Ok, I don’t have to mix the °F with the us/cm, after googling the numbers of my city, It seems I need to go for above 600 . The first cyles just finised: result are amazing, I still can feel the heat, cleaning the filter , that feels warm.

I checked the conductivity level, it was already on max, so the chip replacement did not reset the values.

Next , after the washingmachine is finished, some clothes need to dry, but not on max heat capacity, otherwise the clothes goes schrinking… .

so in stead of cotoon, it will be a level lower, and in stead of maximum heat it wil be in the middle.

I have not checked the brushes, will do it later if needed.

About the water hardness, average yo said,I reas in a service manual that I finally found:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bv4k0s95eae7mf7/62842f8a-f4cb-4360-9a1f-bd1bc6b6611f_aeg{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2Bheat{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2Bpump{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2Bservice{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2Bmanual.PDF?dl=0

the unit in the manual: average is between 300-600 µS/cm but the hardnes in my village is with °F unit: between 30.5 – 46.8 °F

I’m not sure how to calculate … . google does not convert these units..

[Haramo]

forget to add: I also cleaned the ventialtion grill at front, near the filter .
It’s first time, now the tumble is buzzy, I feel warmth if I put my hand close to the door.

About the separate fan motor at the rear, that was replaced once (I called in in my previous message the ventilator), this was the first replacement. How can I know if this part needs to be fixed again? The first time we had an issue of coldness, not really heatness. But I can still feel heatness, so chances the seperate fan motor at rear is still ok.

Which brush? When I had to replace the belt, I had to remove the parts at the back, I put everything back, well lets say my father in law came to visit then he took over after I placed the new belt, to put everything back, as he has more experiences then me. But if I need to check , just in case… .is the brush you mentioned that part at the back that holds the drum in place?

[Haramo]

I also remin that once, the dryer was completely dead, we send the electronic part (chips on it) to a expert to fix it. from then the dryer worked back again. Is it possible that the water hardness must be reconfigured after this fix? I did not do that, maybe this causes the heat issue?

[Haramo]

electrofix wrote:with the model you have given it has a heat pump not an element. the heat in the unit is only waste heat from the compressor

since the compressor is about 500w that all the heat power in the unit. Compare that to the normal 2000w heater

we get a lot of customer complaining about them like ” they take ages to dry”. Also you will never get creases out with that little heat

the dryer did the job well in te beginning , after replacing the first part (the ventitlator) , it worked again as good as needed. AFter replaces the first motor pulley a few years ago, the dryer again worked well.
So this time, after replacting the motor pulley again and for the first time the tumble belt, the heat is not that great as the clothes are not so dry after one cycle.

I took the time to check if the pully still shows some damage, this this no plastic arround everywhere, the pulley is clean. So I put it the first time in a wrong way.

Now, I again cleaned as much as I can from the filters and the places arround the filters. I started a programm: cotton (should be the programma that gives the heatest air) then some towels, in it, that are allowed to use the highest programm, with it also the dryness to maximum. spin speed maximum, and the and the anti-crease is on.

See how they come out in first cycle.

Is this what you mean with follow what manual says?

see link for original manuel with english starting from page 79:

It should be a original one, … .

So I should send them the picture?

or can it be that something else causes this ?

The link to the part as you can see it says original

[Haramo]

And on the picture of the webpage it mentioned : original
