    This has been a real eye opener into how my tumble dryer works and how I should clean condenser etc more regularly. Fantastic

    Hi, Excellent video! mine stopped drying clothes and no heat at all. Thoroughly researched everything available online, torn it apart, cleaned everything, put the condenser on the tub and rinsed it so many times. i even set the first part on fire to eliminate remnants that couldn't go away. End result, the dryer is properly drying the clothes, heat is back on, however, the condenser department doesn't condensate a single drop! Exactly, i have the clothes properly dried and no water being produced. i even took it apart again to check where the water is. the condenser department is completely dry! So any idea what is going on? Thank you in advance

    • @How-to-repair
      @How-to-repair  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Firstly, I will need your full model number and make, there is no way your condenser is not working if the clothes are coming out dry within a couple of hours of you putting the machine on a drying cycle because the water has to go somewhere, is there any water in the collection reservoir?

    • @g159713
      @g159713 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, thank you for your prompt reply, the model is the samsung dv80m52103w/l. There is not a single drop of water on the collection reservoir. i know cause i even took it down again and opened the condenser to investigate it even better. it does work as before, gets the clothes dryed properly within 2.5 hours as before, it heats up as before, the only difference that i have noticed is that there is no significant humidity in the laundry room, something that was the normal before, i guess it should be cause the weather is too dry these days and i have the window open. apart from that, i even checked whether the consenser is cool and the evaporator hot enough, i checked the pipes connecting the bricks to the compressor, i dont know how cool the consender should be, but it is cool. at that point i thought that the cooler fan that is located at the front right lower edge was not properly spinning, took it our and checked it with 12vdc and its running ok. No idea what else could be the issue.@@How-to-repair

    Nice video! Our condenser dryer dries the clothes but emits a chemical kind of smell. We thought it was from some new towels we had bought, and washed the same load 3 times. But the smell persisted. It seems to fill the kitchen with the smell too. Any ideas?

    i recently bought such a dryer second hand , when i wanted to clean it for the first time i found that there was water in the bottom of the dryer , and i thought : that cant be good. so in order to get it out , i decided to drill some holes in the bottom of the machine. then i noticed when dryring clothes again , that water came out underneath the machine and no water went in to the reservoir. and now i watched this video and understand what a idiot i am , thank you sir

    Another great video 👍 I’ve just bought the same tumble dryer and start to convert my little loo to little utility room. The loo is d65cm/w85cm/h225cm. Now I’m a little bit confused because I have a ceiling extractor fan which sucks the air. Should I fit another extractor fan upside down so it will blow the air or change existing one upside down?

    • @How-to-repair
      @How-to-repair  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the collection tray is at the bottom of the machine then I know the spring system that you're talking about you just need to make sure that the water is flowing from the collection tray into the collection bowl make sure the machine is 100% level I'm glad I could help you please remember to subscribe to the channel as that's what keeps us going and able to make these videos for you

    Hi, I have a hoover vision hd and the thermostat has gone. I've got a new one to put on but cant figure out how to get inside the machine, it doesn't have a back panel like the ones in all of the videos I could find, instead the back is attached to both sides so we've tried taking the top off, the drum is in the way, we tried taking the bottom off but got nowhere with that so tried taking the front off but that seems to be too complicated to be the answer. I dont suppose you have a video that Icant find showing how to get into it please?

      Hi, you have to reach in the hole on the back where the cables come out of and pull them right out along with the thermostat, then it's an easy job just to switch them over.

    What if we mistakenly ran dryer without condenser plate please answer

    • @How-to-repair
      @How-to-repair  ปีที่แล้ว

      That is an exceptionally good question in theory, and in theory only, so I'm not being held responsible for this in anyway. By removing the condenser plate and letting the air come out at the front, you would be creating a vented tumble dryer, but this might only work on some depending on the type of sensors fitted the air would come out of the front of the machine and not need to be collected to go into the water chamber. But if it is fitted inside the kitchen, then you would be filling the room with moist air. If you fitted a plate to the front to vent out through a window via a tube, I can't see what the problem would be apart from the design of the machine with regards sensors, it is not recommended as it was not designed to be a vented tumble dryer, but in theory I think it would work

    We have an AEG LAVATHERM 86590IH3 dryer. (Type TC12H6BHP). After normal operation we found lots of water under the dryer! When I opened the filter door, there were lots of water in that area. I have started investigating the pump area at the back of the machine. I have determined with a digital multimeter that the resistance of the pump was about 750 ohm. In one of the videos the repairman mentioned that according to the service manual it should be about 750 ohm. So at this moment I assume that the pump is OK....... Next I will try to check the float sensor/switch which turns on/off the pump. Am I on the right path? Has anyone ever experienced this problem before? (I have not put the machine into diagnostics mode, yet).

    • @paulcooper5330
      @paulcooper5330 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have this problem. I'll try to get to the float switch. I can only remove the top of the dryer sp this could be challenging.

    • @paulcooper5330
      @paulcooper5330 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      All sorted. The dryer needs to be level or a little bit sloping to the rear (rear lower than the front). This allows the water to run from the condenser to the rear of the machine so the pump can pick up the water.
      If it is on a shelf, it needs to be at least level, or sloping slightly to the rear when loaded.
