Re: Whirlpool AWZ 8812 Condensor Dryer steam from door/overh

Thanks for the help Greg, I’ll order 1 up tomorrow and post a reply when fitted to confirm that the seal fixed the job.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 8812 Condensor Dryer steam from door/overh

Hi Greg,

Ive looked through the trangular space between the drum and the rear fan and can clearly see the front seal has “snapped” with part of it sticking up.
I posted the model number and serial code, can you advise on the part number of the seal that I need? Ive had a quick search and think its 481246688523 but wanted to clarify?

Regards

Hi Greg,

Yes in answer to your question a small amount of water can be collected, Ive verified this by removal of the filling pipe and directed into an empty water bottle.

Going back to my model code the machine is a AWZ 8812/3 and the service code is 8575 881 15130, there is also another number (07 0346 503139) but not sure if this is of use?

I’ll try to investigate the fan tonight; do the seals perish or could the seal simply have come away?

Thanks again,

Steve

Hi Greg,

I’ll grab the number tonight (Monday) and post.
just out of interest I noticed last night that the water container is also not filling – is this due to the steam escaping from the door or do you think there could be something more sinister?

Cheers

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 8812 Condensor Dryer steam from door/overh

HI Greg,

Thanks for the advise, is it best to attack the drum from the rear?
The case is currently open on the utility floor; if I take the thermostat/heater cables away I guess I can simply unbolt the drum back cover, will this allow the drum to be removed or is there more operations? Do you know a part number for the seal or do spares outlets simply call them “donut” seals?
Thanks again.

Re: WHIRLPOOL AWZ7303 Condenser Tumble Dryer NO HEAT

gegsy, youre a star!
Exhaust thermostat located with the 2 second removal of 3 screws, tested and found to be open circuit.
I’ll get one next week and confirm with a follow up but looks like an easy fix!

Many thanks again,

Steve

Re: WHIRLPOOL AWZ7303 Condenser Tumble Dryer NO HEAT

Thanks all, can I confirm with the front lower thermostat; can I gain access from the front or do I definately need to remove the drum?

If it is just a lower panel off, I presume that the 3 screws (from memory) at the very bottom and the hinge the whole panel out.

Thanks again for the help.

Re: TDC 32 Hotpoint aq condenser tumble low heat setting onl

Do you think the 2nd phase/part of the element could go down independent of the 1dt half?
The information Ive been given is element need replacing which I guess ties in with what you have said.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ650 Condenser Dryer noisy drum/water collec

Can you advise if the “noisy” repair suggestions are expensive ones and if not are they repairable by a technically minded but novice repairer?
