Faulty motor.
Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
Check the harness connection.
Check if the drum is rotating with your hands; if not, replace the drum rollers.
Check the rear bearing group and replace it if necessary.
Check the motor resistance.
Check the main PCB.
Solutions:
Check if the voltage and frequency values are good.
replace the main PCB.
Service AUTOTEST allows technicians to test all dryer cycles in a few minutes and discover the error codes.
Step 1
Enter the service AUTOTEST.
Press and hold the “Drying Level” button.
Put the selector knob in the third program (“Iron Dry” => Cotton program section).
Turn the selector knob to the first program (“Extra Dry” => cotton program section), and after 3 seconds, the script “SAU” will be displayed.
Press the Start/Pause button, and the appliance will enter the service AUTOTEST.
Step 2
When the selector knob is positioned in the second program (“Cupboard Dry” => Cotton program section), the AUTOTETST steps start.
knob position: Control: Second program Aqua-switch testing Third program pump testing. Fourth program The motor rotates counterclockwise. Fifth program The motor rotates clockwise. Sixth program heater testing. Seventh program Door NTC testing Eighth program cooling fan testing. Ninth program Compressor testing Tenth program conductivity sensor testing.
How to exit the service AUTOTEST:
Method 1: Set the selector knob to the OFF position.
Method 2: Unplug the dryer.
Component Tester:
Check whether the motor cable is connected properly.
Check the connection of the capacitor cables.
Check the capacitor and the motor resistance.
Multimeter Measurements:
Electric part name Capacitance value Motor Capacitor 11μF
Check the motor resistance.
Electric part name Ohmic value Motor main windings: 22 Ω Motor Aux windings: 19.8 Ω
Component Tester:
Check the connection of the pump connector.
Check the pump resistance.
Check the pump operation.
While the pump is working, if the water is not reaching the water tank, the hoses should be checked.
Multimeter Measurements:
The pump resistance is between 1 and 2:
Electric part name Ohmic value Pump 760 Ω
The NTC resistance decreases when the temperature rises.
Component Tester:
Resistance is measured from an IDC connected to an electronic card.
Multimeter Measurements:
Electric part name Temperature Ohmic value Door NTC 25 °C 12 kΩ
The Compressor NTC Resistance:
Electric part name Temperature Ohmic value Compressor NTC 25 °C 12 kΩ
Component Tester:
Check whether the compressor cable is connected to the compressor terminal.
Check the connection of the capacitor cables.
Measure the capacitor.
Measure the compressor resistance.
Multimeter Measurements:
Electric part name Capacitance value Compressor Capacitor 20 μF
Check the compressor resistance.
Electric part name Ohmic value Compressor main windings between terminals C and R: 9.5 Ω Compressor aux windings between terminals C and S: 8.4 Ω
Component Tester:
Check whether the cooling fan cable is connected to the fan terminal.
Measure the resistance values.
Multimeter Measurements:
Check the cooling fan resistance.
Electric part name Ohmic value Cooling fan 536 Ω
