Condenser tumble dryer fault finding and repair | easiest fix ever | Beko DTGC7000W

[@will_doherty]

Usually when the safety stat has tripped it's due to the non-resettable one failing. The only other cause generally is opening the door whilst the heater is on, and thus the heat contained in the element isn't carried away by the airflow, causing the safety stat to trip. Best to advance the machine to its cool-down cycle for a minute before opening the door or otherwise stopping the machine. Nice clear video offering a concise basic troubleshooting methodology 👍

i just watched this video 1 in the morning and i could not wait to fix my dryer jumped out of bed and its working..thank you man

[@Dazzy84]

Brilliant!! Picked up a dryer myself with the same problem.. girl ended up buying a new one... one "click" on the reset button, and away it went! Its amazing how many people dont take the time to actually check their bloody appliances, but would rather buy a new one! Very satisfying hearing that reset click! Great job!! 👍

[@bootsowen]

Indeed. A friend is using this one now. So it has been saved!

[@marzenakarcz9759]

Thank you for your video, which helped me a lot. The tumble dryer works!!! It's only 4 years old and hasn't been used that much. I would like to say one thing : Do not open it during the drying program because then the thermostat goes crazy and this is often the reason why I stop heating. I just learned this from another source, but I hope it will be useful to others as well.

[@wendyw5776]

OMG - just watched this, took the back off my machine, red button clicked - followed the video - fixed! Thank you.

[@SafaKarabacak]

Backhoes generally have 2 nested filter mechanisms. You removed and cleaned the 1st filter, but there is another filter inside. I don't know if you need it after 1 year :)

[@jamiebutler7752]

Awesome video. Had this exact issue today with this model and now back up and running 😊

[@mr.gorenje7824]

Perfect Match ! The beko you found Is a bit older But together they would Look amazing!

Thank you you saved me €140. My dryer kept tripping my switch I cleaned it an Still didn't work I open up the bk an there was an quality street wrapper stuck at the heat springthank you 🙏

Nice find. Its crazy what people throw out now.

Intriguing! My Beko is not heating up, so looking forward to checking out the back of it. Thanks very much for this excellent video!.

[@DjSnipaZ]

Hi. i love how informative this video is. Will be sure to subscribe. I have an issue with my Beko DCU7230S condenser drier. It is tripping the RCD but only when I press the start button to start to machine going and it happens instantly when the start button is pressed. It doesnt trip when I turn the power on. Would this suggest an issue with the heating element? Any help on this would be hugely appreciated. Thanks. Oliver

[@Hwash500-t18]

I got the washer version of that lol got it last month it’s good tbh

[@areyoumad4it]

Great video! Any idea where that small water leak is coming from? I have the same model and need to sort the leak out because the floor is always wet

[@capitaldidi]

I have a newer model and it was heating but not drying. Replaced the pump but no change. Today I looked inside at the holes in the back of the drum and realised the area behind the drum was full of impacted lint - no clue how so much of it got past 2 filters. I got it all out with tweezers because I was too scared to take the whole back panel off (I did take off the felt panel like you did in this video). I came to ask - do you think it would be ok for next time to unscrew the whole back metal panel? Or is that risky?

[@bootsowen]

It’s the only way to be sure that you have the lint out

[@naithonstray4762]

Mine trips the rcd after a few seconds running. What would you check first? I popped a small bit of hose under the dryer and was clogged. I cleaned that out but still the same

[@bootsowen]

Heater element?

[@theoddjobcentre6686]

This beko is newer than the one we bought in 2016 that was brand new so it's from the past few years

[@manceconomist]

Same model and problem. The red button will not click. Is it likely a new heater will solve the problem or does it need a new red button as well? Thanks.

[@bootsowen]

A multimeter might tell you.

[@geckolor]

Hello 🙂 My Beko condenser dryer is leaking from underneath, any thoughts please?

[@bootsowen]

it probably has a leak

[@susanparkinson1130]

Have you any idea how to get the door lock out of this model? My son stuck a spoon in mine yesterday and broke it. TIA 🙏

[@bootsowen]

do they have a lock, is it not just a catch?

[@susanparkinson1130]

Thank you for the reply but I went at it myself earlier and got the front clip off and seen it's a bigger inside unit. Just my luck. Have it ordered now and waiting 🙏🥰

[@masterswain]

Mine works with no heat at all , thermostats are fine and element even replaced for the sake of it and still the same problem could it be the pcb control board

[@bootsowen]

I guess. You could check if voltage is getting to the element when it’s running. But I wouldn’t advise that unless you are electrically proficient

[@richardgorman4761]

I have a similar model to this in Beko ,the dryer stopped suddenly and no power now ,checked plugs sockets ,,,wonder if it's the actual power cord???

[@fatlindi78]

I have almost the same model that is heating normally but sometimes it is stopping the cycle just after 10 minutes and the flashes for filter and tank starting to flash it means that the tank or filter are full but they are not so i have to start again and again until it finishes the cycle

[@bootsowen]

I have the same problem at the moment with a heat pump dryer.

[@darrenmanning5726]

My beko beeps twice when I press start and doesn't work. Any ideas please?

[@dutchbobson3183]

My beko condenser sensor dryer. Is heating up but keeps turning itself off. All the lights go out on the control panel. Possibly an issue with the PCB?

[@paulallen3736]

Can you tell where the capacitor is ? as mines humming and not starting

[@bootsowen]

Have a look at the video I put up today, the cap is usually beside the motor. Inside, at the bottom.

[@LaurenBelcher-v4c]

How do i get to the pump to unblock it?? You mention in the video it could be blocked with a tiny bit of fluff, but i dont know how to get to it to unblock it. Thanks

[@bootsowen]

It is around the back and I have covered it in other videos. The search bar is just as easy for you to use as for me!

[@Songs505s]

I have the exact same dryer..mine has just started to stop saying the water tank is full but it is infact empty and is not collecting water..its all leaking at the bottom instead..i think theres a blockage somewhere..can anyone help please? 🙏🙏

[@bootsowen]

You seem to have diagnosed the issue. Take the pump apart at the back and clean it. Easy.

[@paulb9769]

What was the issue? I have one that stops after a few minutes.

[@bootsowen]

did you watch the video?

[@paulb9769]

@@bootsowen Yes sorry I did. I was in a spin. I went to sort out a machine very similar to that but with LCD display she said it was spinning for a minute and stopping. It ran perfectly for me but she says its still not working since. No tank light and its heating properly any ideas?

[@stea1thmode]

Hi, firstly thanks for all your effort on the videos, your methodical approach to fault finding has taught me loads. I was wondering if I could pick your brain. Beko dryer is tripping the RCD with a beep once up to temp, about 10 mins in. Engineer has installed new door seal, main board and heating element but no joy. Pump/float for condenser is also working fine and I’ve cleaned everything as per this video, any ideas before I concede defeat? Suppressor issue perhaps or is that usually on startup? Cheers!

[@bootsowen]

Thermal trips?

[@stea1thmode]

Unfortunately not, new heating element fitted which comes with new trips pre installed. I'm down to NTC or suppressor now. @@bootsowen

[@clockwisesss6031]

Any idea what size the screws on the back are? I've got one someone opened and failed to repair but they binned/lost the screws.

[@bootsowen]

Usually similar to other screws in the machine, some kind of self tapping thing.

[@clockwisesss6031]

@@bootsowen this is weird, the element looks good and I have continuity across the fuses but still no heat. Element showing about 34 ohms and 65ohms on the 2 loops which I guess are high low?

[@clockwisesss6031]

No worries, found looking for replacement parts that are common that they have a front thermostat too so I think that's popped rather than the back and whoever looked in the back didn't look further.

What if there is no reset button? My machine gives error code E60, I have cleaned the reducer, strainer and seal. It didn't help. Suggestions for what to do next?

[@bootsowen]

What does e60 mean?

[@lotusflover4703]

@@bootsowen E60 means that the seal, strainer and condenser must be cleaned. the door handle/lock is broken. the door can be closed but I'm not sure if it's tight. can the machine stop heating if the door is not tight?

I have this machine and it keeps cutting out less than a minute into the cycle. I have cleaned it all, took the back off and checked the trip button (couldn't press it). Do you have any suggestions? Thank you 😊

[@bootsowen]

what do you mean by cutting out? tripping the fuse (RCD) or something else.

I have this exact machine and moisture is leaking from where you removed off that metal/form part at the back of the machine through the small cracks. Any ideas how I stop the water steeping through the small cracks?

We have a CANDY and the condenser won't drain into the tray - the water stays in the condenser. How do I fix that? Machine looks fluff-free. Thank you

Sometimes the pump that pumps the water to the tray gets blocked. See if it is? Usually you have to take a panel off the back
