Answer this Question (1 Answer)

  • ** Unplug dryer from mains before starting work *** 1. Remove three screws from back top of dryer holding lid in place. 2. Slide lid back about an inch and lift to remove. NB: Plastic edging strips may not be attached to wooden lid panel, so be careful when removing. 3. Remove control knob from front panel. This can just be pulled off, but may require the use of a large flat blade screwdriver to prise it loose. 4. Remove two screws from top front edges of dryer holding plastic fascia in place. 5. Remove two indicator lights from front panel by pulling them back into the dryer body. Take note of which colour wire is in which position. 6. Slide plastic fascia panel right (as you face the front of the dryer) and then pull to remove. 7. Remove two screws from top front edge of dryer holding metal front panel in place. 8. Gently pull front panel forwards and carefully bend top edge down to reveal screws holding relay PCB in place. Remove PCB. 9. Taking careful note of current position, transfer one wire at a time from old to new PCB. 10. Secure new PCB using two screws, but fit from INSIDE dryer (to make future removal easier). 11. Carefully bend top edge of metal front panel back to original position and refit two screws to top edge. 12. Replace plastic fascia panel taking note to line up all plastic lugs (including one near the top of the panel). Refit two screws to top edges. 13. Refit two indicator lights (on my machine, the one with the blue wire was nearest the control knob). 14. Refit lid, lining up holes on edges with brass bolts on top of dryer. 15. Secure lid with three screws at back. 16. Plug into mains and test. By TimYork - - 28 August 2010
