Woohoo. It works. Bit of a fiddle getting it out, but managed OK. Cleaned it out at work with compressed air, the amount of fluff and tissue that came out of it was unbelievable.

The dryer comes on straight away now. It used to hesitate sometimes but now its “spot on”.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Hi Pee’d off busy mum :o)

WOW, we’re like 2 peas in a pod.

Sometimes I have to start the drying program 4 or 5 times for it to work. It clicks and humms for a while then clicks again and stops. I know if it has started OK when the red “drying” light above the dial is lit.

Anyway, that I can live with (well, sort of). Mine keeps cutting out and blowing out cold air. I’ve had the lid off and pushed the reset switch. It clicks down, then blows hot again. It keeps need resetting though. What was your problem? I’ve removed the metal flow pipe where the switch sits and its clean inside.

Just wondered if you could shed any light?

Sorry to go on………

Hi

I have removed the aluminium casing tube which goes from the fan at the back of the drum to the the front door seal. This is where the heating element and trip switches are housed.

After splitting it, inside its completely clean.

There are 2 trip reset switches, and its always the ledft hand side on that needs resetting. I’m gonna swap the two over. If the same switch trips again, I’ll assume the switch is at fault.

What does anyone else think?

Ah, i looked at that when the lid was off. It goes from the fan at the back of the machine, up to the front door seal. Fairly sure thats the one.

Thanks for your replies, and sorry I haven’t got back to you sooner!

Result, took the lid off )after unplugging the machine) and one of the pins on the thermostat “clicked” and reset. Worked fine when I tried it.

It ran for a week or so, then last night, cold air again. Haven’t taken the lid off yet, but assume its the same fault.

So does anyone know how to clean the condenser (as earlier suggested)? Or, does anyone have any other clues as too what could be the cause?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks. I’ll take my 8mm spanner home, take out the plug, and have a look.
