Re: Indesit IDC75 condenser dryer not stopping
I did think perhaps the control knob had been put on upside down or replaced with the wrong knob and that the timer function was 180 degrees out of sync but sadly not.

Indesit IDC75 condenser dryer not stopping
I have an indesit IDC75 condenser tumble dryer and everything appears to be working ok
press start button and it starts spinning
does it reverse tumble at periodic intervals
heats up ok (heat switch toggles between high and low heat and working ok)
timer switch rotates as time passes by
However, there is one issue, it does not switch off when the timer goes back to "0', or 'off' if you like. Just keeps going. It will only stop if the door is opened, then closing the door requires the 'start' button to be pressed again to get it started.
I dont know the history of the machine so unsure if its a genuine fault with the timer switch, which I believe is the issue, or perhaps previous owner maybe changed the wiring to the timer switch.
Any ideas? thanks
No other electronics involved (so no relays) only the basic components:
water pump, flood switch and neon lamp
motor and run start cap
heating element with thermostats
door interlock bitron type switch
drum vent thermostat
heat hi/lo switch
momentary start button
timer switch

Hi all,
I have a Western Digital Sentinel DS5100 NAS system which has stopped working. It has dual BIOS. I bought the system second hand with an already broken primary BIOS (it rebooted multiple times until second BIOS was used).
It worked until recently. The system was idle in Windows Server 2012 and a BSOD occurred, I think it was 'critical process died'. Thereafter it didn't boot, it just sat there with no video output and fan speed at 100% (there's a proprietary Windows driver by WD which controls the fan, outside of that it always runs at 100%).

My Bosch NEXXT 500 dryer quit today, press start nothing happens and the start button just keeps blinking. Not cool. Reset the dryer, same thing.
Even so the buttons feel good, my problem was the start button smd tactile switch on the PCB. Cleaned the switch with alcohol followed with Deoxit and the sucker runs like a champ again.
I like these easy evening fixes!

Just wondering if anyone has successfully attempted a re-gas on a heat pump tumble dryer.
The dryer currently in question runs on R134a.
The dryer has been completely stripped down/cleaned/tested and re-assembled however there is no heating/cooling effect so working on the assumption it requires re-gassing. Of course, its likely theres a leak which would require soldering or even the possibility that the compressor has an internal fault even though it is running.
I was thinking of getting a car aircon regas kit or probably easier but slightly dearer an hvac... -
Hello,
I'm helping my brother to fix his Blomberg laundry dryer. He called a repair guy to have a look and the repair guy said the control board is faulty. They said the replacement board costs $400. Too expensive! 😨 My brother asks me to take a look. He has checked the door switch and thermal fuse, etc., and those seems fine.
After plugged to mains, there is no display. There is just a clicking sound from the buzzer, like one click per second. No other response.
I suspect the firmware inside the MCU (ATMEGA64A) got corrupted. Can someone in this forum by any chance provide... -
Patient is a Maytag/Whirlpool/Kenmore clothes dryer. Not sure of exact model, doesn't matter. All boards are out of production.
Specific problem is a Maytag 8544799 / WP8544799 motor-control board, aka Diehl Controls 708879-05. Customer states the board "doesn't work, motor doesn't run". Not sure how the repairman made that assessment, or if it's even accurate. He can't get replacement boards, and the owner decided to buy a new dryer, so whether this board is the problem is speculation on his part. Again, doesn't matter.
I've been over the board looking for...
