    Check the heating element for starters.

    In spite of your tests it could well be the heater or main pump having developed an earth leak. Also moving from a cold garage into warmer room will create a good deal of unwanted condensation onto the electrics. So to find the guilty components a insulation tester (aka Megger) the best way to find what’s going on in there.

    I don’t think MTR9817 will fit TBH. The motor fixing legs are wide and the genuine replacement uses a wide open-vaned steel fan rather than an aluminium casting fan and included a cooling fan. Best fit genuine I would suggest.

    The good news is it’s a metal tub on this one. A pair of shockers at 26quid each (part no’s 00118869) and they unbolt and bolt back in easily.

    Motor drawing too much current due to armature segments shorting by the sounds. Motor fooked is my guess 🙁

    Can’t be that Jem as we all do a full insulation test before even attempting a repair. 😉

    The symptoms point to the control PCB being the culprit. 🙁

    2 minutes into the cycle means it should now be heating up the water so check out that heater.

    Re: White Knight Tumble Dryer Accessory to stop steaming/mou

    White Knight dryers like most vent their hot steamy air out of the back. So the correct solution would be to install a cavity wall vent kit and attach a short length of vent hose between it and the dryer. All neat and tidy that way, condensation a thing of the past.

    Cheap skate quick solution, drag it out, pop a vent hose on it at the back and the other end tossed out of an open window.

    Yes indeed the water level control has failed often as a result of a blockage in the water level air chamber. Needs checking and cleaning first off.

    Ah I see now, during Halloween that would be, spooky goings on in your neighbourhood I shouldn’t wonder. Half the street ‘hot wiring’ your meter cupboard plugging in their lights and electric Teslar cars overnight if I’m any judge? 😈

    The bearing kit (part no: 00619808) cost around £50, comes complete with bearings, shaft seal, tub gasket and fixing screws. Major strip-down involving removing the tub, splitting the two halves, removing the drum, knocking out the old bearings and seal. And then reassembling. 2 hours work end to end for an expert.

    Your schematic doesn’t show it Kai but the OP showed you the part he needed in his last post. The counterface seal normally is part of the drum shaft though was available as a seperate part when the bearings failed and the carbon seal was scored.

    Sadly this part is rarer than Dodo eggs

    It’s total power consumption is 950 watts so will easily operate with a 5 amp fuse in the plugtop. Using that amount of electricity after just 5 uses equates to several ovens running for hours!

    To put your mind at rest check the rating of the fuse, stick in a 5 amp and switch on. “Energy spike?” I’ve never heard of such a thing in a domestic appliance that wouldn’t result in the fuse blowing.

    Re: Tumble Dryer using vast amounts of electricity

    That cannot be right? £40 equates to over a whole years average usage! The dryer is not capable of using that much electricity after just 5 cycles. Have you got one of those new fangled Smart Meters by any chance?
