Washer dryer stops within 30 seconds of starting drying cycle - no error code displayed. Washing fine - no unusual noises.

Entered diagnostic mode - no error codes on 10th setting - performed dryer test mode - heated up nicely based on the display and to touch on the top - no problems

Opened machine - ran dryer diagnostic again - fan span up OK + heater has 230V across both elements. Then I ran a drying cycle - drain OK, wait a minute or so then listening I hear the condensor solenoid buzzing lightly but no water entering. Every 2 mins or so the machine tries the solenoid - ad infinitum.

No error codes but possible faulty condensor water solenoid ? Or something else entirely ?

TIA

:rolleyes: Guess I should check for open circuit on solenoid although it should give an E10 if it is. I wonder if its not open circuit but failed enough to not actuate ?

Will give it a go later - thoughts appreciated in the mean time though !
