Drum turns when the switch is depressed but stops as soon as the switch is let go. There is a buzzing noise and a slight burning smell. You’re help is greatly appreciated.

Model is Beko tumble dryer DRCS68W S/N 11-210987-06 Suddenly our tumble dryer stopped heating up. It’s installed in the wardrobe thing so quite difficult to check the back what do u suggest 1st call of action to be please?

Dryer spins for a few minutes then the dryer stops all lights flash and no water is in the collection bucket

Checked both fuses on the heater element and no resistance or contact over the fuse. They are both blown. Do you have replacements. Price and shipment to Norway?

I assume that the number you need is on the sticker on the photo.
You are right, I meant the thermostats. Also attaching a detail picture of heater detail. Do you mean that the thermostats are not sold separate? Regards Henry

Hi,
I have old IDC75 UE dryer machine with a condenser.
The heat protection thermostat is gone to open circuit every time.
I “fixed” it by reset it using a pin, but it jump again after a one or two dryer cycles.
I have notice that the dryer is holding off while trying to turn to counter-clock side, therefore the heat thermostat is jump to open circuit due to lack of air flow.
I replaced the heating element including both attached thermostats and also the 8 micro-farad capacitor.
but still, the problem remains…
any ideas ?
Thanks

what I did so far:
replace 8 micro-farad capacitor.
replace heating element with both thermostats.
cleaning all the machine keeping clean air flow.
cleaning the third thermostat inside the drum.

Reference telephone call i have checked the heater and both sides of the element are good but one of the rear thermostats are open circuit serial number 509220069

Hi Paul TDWSF83BEP Door Filter Light

Im looking for a little assistance into a tumble dryer fault please and the spares i may need. The door filter light comes on, if you push start machine comes back on again but then soon cuts out again with the red light on. So i have investigated and the following has been done.

Tumble dryer does get warm but keeps cutting out with red door light.

I dismantled door filter and cleaned any lint debris from filter and duct.
I removed condenser and cleaned under tap as per instructions found online.
I removed right side of machine and found lint under the NTC sensor by fan motor, removed this lint as thought this was problem, but machine still does the same.
Opened covering here as well and cleaned any lint from here, only minor.
Removed rear heater to look to see if heater had any lint, but hardly any found.

So tested the sensor on top of heater and the thermal fuse, thermal fuse has continuity and sensor has resistance circa 18k Ohm that reduces when warmed as expected, heater tested (not expected faulty as was getting warm) and both coils ok.

tested sensor by fan motor (NTC?) and again this has a resistance and reduces with warmth.

So I inserted a thermocouple close to the two sensors at top of heater to see what was going on and when you start machine it appears to turn heater on which rises to circa 250 Deg C this then reduces down to circa 30 Deg as fan cycles air through. It tries again to heat and it goes to circa 340 Deg C but then stops and lights the door filter light.

Removed and reinstalled connections to pcb by selection knob but no different.

I guess the thing is cutting out because it thinks blocked by lint and overheating but sensors appear to be ok,any help with spot where my thoughts are wrong please and what to test to understand what i need to purchase to repair?

Thanks V Much

Machine runs properly for a few minutes the filter light flashes and beep starts; machine then continues to tumble but without heat; pressing start button gets it going again for a few more minutes. Sometimes everything is fine and machine completes the full cycle correctly – but mostly does not.

Clothes are still wet and cold. And could you please send me some information about the diagnostic mode and the error codes?
Thank you!

I can send a video, it was working but switched to full heat and machine stopped. Now just makes a ticking noise from the timer. Heating element appears to run and belt is intact. Can’t get the control panel off on the left hand side. Can’t see a screw at all. Must be something to do with the motor I assume? Please advise
