Re: AEG Lavamat Turbo 16830 Stops Drying After 15 mins

Just to let you know…

Replacing the sensor on the heating duct has fixed the problem. Though I think cleaning the condenser was probably necessary too.

Thanks

This might help others too.

I found diagnostics information for this washer dryer on this link: (look at EWM3000new) There is information for many other models here too – check out the cross reference tables at the back.

Hello,

The sensor on the heat duct appears to be working, but I think it may be the cause of the problem. I have found another post on another forum which says replacing this sensor has fixed a similar problem. Also, when I press the left most buttons on the machine after the machine stops, I get error E73, which points to this sensor being the cause.

This looks like the correct part, but it does not seem to have a seal.

Should I try to replace the seal round the probe at the same time? Can I get one from UKwhitegoods?

Thanks

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your help.

I have cleaned out the condenser, which was a bit blocked up with fluff, but this hasn’t fixed the problem. The time taken for the dryer to stop seems to be more variable now. I have measured 13-18 minutes.

The NTC sensor on the duct that connects the condenser to the drum is reading about 4.7k ohms when disconnected and there is a voltage across it of about 3.3 volts DC when cool, decreasing when the drier is in use. I am not sure what the values should be but that seems reasonable. There is no short to earth.

The blower is turning and hot air is entering the machine.

Are there any other sensors to check?

Thanks

Nick

PS. When I said “does not work” in my first post I should have said “does not work properly” – ie it works initially but then stops after about 15 mins as I had described.
