Tumble Dryer Help Forum

Drier is turning on normally then after about 20 secs gives a beep, momentarily stops then starts running again with the power light flashing rapidly and the following lights blinking around once per sec - from left : time delay, alarm and empty water. The only light not flashing is the high heat light. If the drier is left to run in this state it continues to run but doesnt appear to get warm.

Any assistance appreciated, thanks.

Always best to give the flashing lights by number from top to bottom or left to right.

Your error message is F13

Rear NTC open or short circuit.

Ok from left - 1,2,4 are flashing once/sec and power light flashing rapidly.

Ok thanks any idea what kind of a job it is to fix this?

Many thanks.

Could you please also advise where this part is located inside the drier?

Thanks.

Err, at the rear, behind the small back panel.

The thermostats and NTC should be changed as a complete kit, two different types, one with a white NTC and one black.
I would also remove the condensor from the bottom of the machine at the front. This should be cleaned out every week or so, if it is badly clogged up then that will lead to stat/ntc failure.

Be sure to remove the mains plug before removing any panels.

Ok we have taken the back off today, the 2 outer devices are black and the center one is white.
What would I actually be asking for as a replacement would it be called a rear NTC kit?
Also, are the 2 outer black devices the same, ie : does it matter which way around they go?

Many thanks.

The thermostat kits come complete, they must be replaced in exactly the same position as the original ones.

If your serial number is 51130.0000 or less you need C00208298 HERE
If the serial number is 51130.0001 or higher you need kit C00208299.HERE
