D Do you know if the door release actuator is mechanical or electrical (solenoid)?

After being away, I returned with a view to open up the dryer panels to locate a door lock related solenoid. The one aspect of this door lock issue that raised questions for me was the operating manual door opening instruction stipulated it applied with power on or off. (i.e. is the latch...

Thanks JJ. I will check that out. The day it was moved was a bit eventful. The seller didn’t know the dryer was connected to the washer so it took some time to get that all sorted by which time some inclement weather was moving in so more distractions to get it loaded. When I was off loading it...

Long story short in the process of repairing a T494C Dryer, I managed to procure a T8823C which functioned well but with all the distraction on the moving day, I can’t recall if I checked the door opened. After several days of sitting I ran one cycle and the door opened, I thought problem solved...

Thanks jj, I had a look definitely worth a try. Just need some line dancing music to accompany the sequence!

oops! Sorry opps I didn’t mean to misspell your ID. A case of analogue digits on digital devices. OK, I thought the matter was resolved in court, perhaps not. I recall a media report re the Aussie farmers having a win etc etc. Intrigues me how some major companies seemed to be prepared to...

OK thanks oops, interesting to know. I am not sure of the age of these respective machines. I hope they predate what you mentioned. That would be a clever move by Miele? John Deere engaged in a practice that effectively prevented the operators (farmers) from doing their own maintenance/repairs...

Washer W Classic M Nr 09 985 910 Dryer T8823C M Nr 07 847 190 I would greatly appreciate advice on how to activate the service mode for the above machines.

You Betcha thanks Honj

Hello Harry and Honj, I rarely experience luck however, I decided to have one more search on the local marketplace website. To my surprise I found a not going T494C (cooked power supply). I offered the person a six pack of beer for the machine fully accepting it was a gamble. After a two hour...

OK thanks Harry. I've seen some wall plugs that are fused (not a standard thing in AUS). I wondered if they might have to fuse the power connection terminal.

OK thanks Harry, do you know if the manis power connector has a fuse? From the wiring diagrams I have seen, I am not 100% sure if it does.

Thanks Harry, the exploded parts diagram illustrates only one relay (as a plug in type). That relay is for the heater bank. I wasn't sure if the cooling fan circuit also utilises that relay. After perusing the wiring diagram, I now think there are several relays in the control board. I what to...

Much appreciate if anyone would advise where the relay/s are located & if they are plug in or soldered,

Correction; Last line in previous post should read: "Re the relay, where is it located ......?"

Trouble shooting has identified three possible faults; 1. Condenser cooling fan capacitor 2. Condenser cooling fan 3. Condenser cooling fan relay . it is a T494C model (not a lot of use). I would be grateful for any information on the following Are the capacitor types in these dryers Start or...

Thank-you Honj, Yes I recall seeing a wiring diagram in the front panel/door. It has been a while since I've read those diagrams. I might post another specific question on the forum re the fan motor and relay. Somebody may have particular experience in that area. The trouble shooting thus far...

When you mention electricity are you referring to a circuit breaker or a residual current device?

I have checked the capacitor & it has met the spec multiple times with no variation in the results however, I was wondering if you know whether the capacitor is a start or start & run type.

Thanks Honj, I will check.
