Thanks for making this video, we have exactly the same problem, and need to remove the black cover to wash out the condenser. Maybe I'll wait until my wife is away before taking it apart! Thanks again :)
If you remove the heat pump cover make sure you will put it back properly . Pay attention to the capillary tube that link the condenser from the evaporator . Also clean the condensate water pump . The internal filter need to be cleaned too. The wires need to be fixed back on their locker .The spinning cylinder will cut them or will rub the insulation and make a short circuit . Inside near the opening door on the lower side there are two parallel metals blades that are sensing the humidity of the clothing.Clean them too . The two parallel blades are short-circuited by the clothing moisture and as long as the PCB will receive the signal back trough the short circuited blades the drier will continue its cycle . Good luck .
I think this a brilliant video. Also you describe the fancy very well. I can identify with your outlook on managerial positions too. Your English is very good, certainly better than my Hungarian.
I have acquired a Grundig (Beko/Arcoelectric based) heat pump dryer. I was told “it doesn’t heat” so I intend to do a full strip down and decontamination of all the parts and see what happens. I also plan to check compressor start/run relay and overload (assuming it is an AC compressor like in a standard fridge). I will report back what happens. Thanks again for taking the time to post your thoughts.
If you intend to strip it I suggest to check first the dryer running protocol . First try to see if the heat pumping cycle stars . To do that you have to throw a wheat towel or something so the two metal blades that are near the door panel on the frame will be touched by the wheat cloth . The resistive short circuit sent to the PCB will initiate the heat pumping cycle . If you will wait and you will here the compressor buzzing just wait for about 5 minute .The back plate on to the back of the drier where the hot and dryer air moves from the heat pump in to the tumble dryer’s cylinder must get hot . If that is getting hot then you must clean the filters to allow the air to circulate free trough the installation . If that back cover remain cold and you can here the compressor running then the system could lose the refrigerant . Refrigerant can be 134a R600 or you will find the type on the Drier Label. If the heat exchanger is aluminium i can show you how to solder it safely not to melt the pipes . If the compressor does not start then check the Capacitor and the starting relay and the compressor,s SCR. Then have a direct try from a 230VAC power source .I mean a cable connected direct to L N E and see for 10 seconds if the compressor is running . Good look .
Hello my friend, I have a similar heat pump dryer like yours. Mine has the error that it thinks that the water reservoir is full (however this is not the case). I know that it ''thinks'' that the reservoir is full because a sensor down below measures that the container is overfilling. From previous experience i know that most of the time the sensor is dirty so it thinks that the reservoir is full without it being full. Do you know if there is a water level sensor somewhere below? I already cleaned the pump and tested it and the waterpump is working fine!
Hi, i have Grundig tumble dryer. It was working perfectly without any problems. But now won't turn ON. Socket is fine ( tested ). Any idea what can be a problem?
Test the plug Test the power supply on PCB Test the fuse on PCB If the fuse on PCB is damaged then check the PCB Resistance or unplug from PCB the Water Pump The Compressor and the Fan .Replace the PCB fuse and see if lights up when you plug it in .If yes then test the fan ,the water pump and the fan .see witch one is blowing the fuse .
@@hAnbogdan1 just vacume the filters and if the heat exchanger beyound the filter is dirty use a brush connected to a vacume and gently vaxume the elements but vey slowly not to bend them

Fantastic video, thanks so much for making it!
Very informative.
Watch the lat one .I tryied to be more descriptive

@@TechnicalChallenger Thank you! Have a nice day👍🏻
Bro this is quite a struggle. Why they don't make it easier to clean? 😅😅
