Re: Creda T622CW heater is always on
Hello buddy,
yes it’s a different timer, creda sent me a cross ref. sheet and the old references tied up and I connected the unit up as shown (including the new links supplied) I suppose the leads down to the motor capacitor may have been swapped by someone, but I doubt this would make a difference? I’ll re-check them all in the morning. The drum rotation seemed to be OK before. the original timer was a:- copreci TD-020014 and the replacement is an invensys EC4925. I am tempted to call creda and ask if I can have a drawing to check all the connections out, I know a service engineer has looked at this one in the past. How are creda at giving out diagrams? (not very good I imagine…)I could try an isolated supply onto the motor? does the timer do the reversing of the drum rotation?
I appreciate your help iadom – it helps to talk to someone else, I remember doing appliance servicing as part of my apprenticeship (a few years ago. lol) and spending many a jolly hour then…
best regards
Nick B
Re: Creda T622CW heater is always on
Great!
the replacement timer cured the ‘heater always on’ fault. BUT, this is a bit of a ringer this machine; the motor runs for approx 1 min. before the overheat thermistors operate in the motor. resetting after the stator has cooled sufficiently. (I disconnected the heating load to save the cut-outs) I have measured the motor current, it is not excessive at 340mA. I am going to try a replacement capacitor (looks like a CSR motor) first & if this fails to help, I may have to scrap it off (I would think the cost of a new motor may be x-essive?) if anyone has any other thoughts in the meantime – I’d appreciate it. Just going to try search threads on TD motors. Great website by the way…
Kind Regards
Nick B.
