Re: AEG washer dryer switching on/off

thanks Dave – I did check voltage on the cable connection on the board going to the front panel last night. It was sitting at 6.12V, then dropped to 3.7V at which point the relays started clicking and the front panel went off. Took longer to come back, but when it did, it was at 7.5V, then dropped again.

Re: AEG washer dryer switching on/off

attached photo – I think its the LNK component towards the bottom left.

Re: AEG washer dryer switching on/off

Think I found it ok – LNK362GN. I don’t see the 3 leg component.
I’m looking for a pin diagram to work out which is gnd and which pin is 5v

Re: AEG washer dryer switching on/off

that makes sense – seems like the voltage is falling below a threshold.

I’m struggling to find a test point to pick up the 5v, or even find where the regulator is on this machine. Is it likely just a 7805 I’m looking for?

cheers

Re: AEG washer dryer switching on/off

thanks Dave, I’ve had a play with it – it does the same thing on every cycle I’ve tried.

It runs for up to 6 minutes then crashes out. Display blanks and LED goes off, like its lost power, then comes back on at the same point it went off – this cycle then repeating every 2 seconds.

Is the easiest diagnostic to replace the most likely cause, or are the bits expensive so I should get a multimeter out?

cheers

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

Dave – thanks!

That was indeed the problem. One of the cables was broken at the point it is tied to the duct.

I’ve a temporay fix in place so will replace that cable. I believe I can get spares through this site?

Thanks a bunch for all your help, its been brilliant.

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

thanks for the response, I’ll check it out when I get home from work.

I’m not actually sure where the other end of the NTC wiring is, but I’ll try to follow the wiring back.

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

Anyone any thoughts on this and why it might skip the heating phase – I think elements are OK and not leaking to earth and that thermostats are OK.

Is it possible to factory default this model?

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

Brilliant thanks – I was holding down the power – works just holding down 2.

I see an E73 error – google tells me this:

Fault in NTC sensor on drying duct (voltage out of range = short-circuit, open circuit)
Drying NTC sensor (duct) faulty
Wiring faulty
Main circuit board faulty
Heating is skipped revert to Start

The wiring looks ok and the NTC was reading about 6k ohms when I checked it and did lower when I touched the radiator with it. I’m guessing “heating is skipped” but have no idea why.

Not sure where to go next with this, why would it skip the heating? Is there another test or a hard reset in diagnostic mode?

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

Thanks Dave.

I’m feeling a bit foolish now – despite following the instructions the machine isn’t entering any other mode. When I switch on, the start/pause LED flashes at the end of the row and the cotton LED is on round the knob. Closest button to the start/pause button is delay start. I’d tried pressing that with the other 2 but no joy.
What am I doing wrong?

cheers

Re: AEG lavamat Turbo protex not drying

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried to get into the diagnostics mode, however didn’t seem to work for me. I tried other combinations of button holding as well but nothing worked.

On my AEG, the button to the left of the start/Pause is the Delay start – is that the correct other button? To the left of the start/pause there’s 6 buttons running under the display.

Just checked between the elements and earth – looks like its completely open circuit.

cheers

Kevin
