Thanks so much for the video. My partners machine just failed and I took the top off thinking it would be a simple job of changing the brushes!! 😂😂 Found your video to find out it’s brushless!!! Figured it was worth forking out a tenner for a new capacitor rather than £300 for a new machine and hope it would do the trick. Followed all your instructions, cursed you at times for not showing more detail (😂😂) but am ultimately grateful as we now have a working machine again!!! £10 instead of £300 and no wastage. So, thank you very much for taking the time to post this video. 😊😊

Thanks Mark, oddly enough I could actually feel as though someone was slagging me off yesterday as my ears were burning 🔥. lol just kidding. I tried my best to make the process audible and visually easy to understand Mark and I’m happy you managed to successfully resolve besides the small erm, misunderstanding, your partner must be pleased too as you have saved money and avoided landfill, that is precisely why this video was made.

Great video. I've just change the motor in a very similar machine and this was a great help for stripping it down to get to where I needed to be👍

Thanks for the video, I just finished stripping and cleaning my own tumble dryer. Loads of dust inside. So it got a good clean. I replaced the capacitor as sometimes my drum would just stop during a cycle. Hoping that's sorted it out. Otherwise I'm gonna have to try some other things 😅. Thanks!

Great video, thank you for all the tips. My older but similar machine dries fine but keeps on running. When the timer gets down to 15 min's it stops counting down even when the load is bone dry. I 'acquired' another which needed a motor cap. Changed that & it works fine now, but does the exact same 15 minute thing! Both been thoroughly cleaned of visible fluff etc. Not a major issue but it just means the machine needs to be supervised. (And the O/H worries it'll catch fire!!)

Very helpful vid but Just need to ask can you use a diff higher capacitor because the one u bought 7UF for £10 is listed for a completely diff dryer but the one for this machine said 12 UF but have the name of this unit in fitting list

But I don’t know much about heat pump dryers but I know when they go wrong and cold it’s usually had it. But my Miele eco comfort broke down twice in its 7 years lifetime but lucky first it was the refrigerant sensor went then as soon as they guy left it broke down again they come back two weeks later and it was the moisture sensor or something under those screens was gone and loose so he put new one in had no problems since that was nearly a year ago.
