Grundig Dryer Troubleshooting

If you're looking for help fixing your Grundig Dryer, look no further! Our comprehensive Grundig Dryer Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Dryer Does Not Start
The most common cause for a dryers failure to start is a defective door switch. Door switches take a real beating with the opening and closing of the dryer door. The door switch is a normally open switch that closes when the door is closed. Replacing a door switch is a quick fix that requires only a few simple hand tools and a new switch that costs less than five dollars. To test it simply take a continuity reading through it with the door in the closed position. No continuity indicates a bad switch.
Occasionally the dryer's electromechanical timers or solid-state controller can cause a failure to start. The dryer will have one or the other located behind the control panel. Electromechanical timers are motor-driven switches that send current to the proper dryer heating element according to the cycle selected. A solid-state controller is a printed circuit board similar to those contained in the back of television sets.

Dryer Starts But Drum Does Not Turn
The most common cause of a drum that doesn't turn is a broken drive belt, although a broken idler pulley could be the cause, as well. The drive belt is similar in design to the serpentine drive belts found under the hood of a modern automobile. The dryer's drum drive belt runs around the drum, under the idler pulley and around the pulley on the dryer's drive motor. The spring-loaded idler pulley keeps proper tension on the belt so that there is enough friction between the drive belt and drum to turn the drum with a normal load of clothes in the drum.

Dryer Does Not Heat
If the dryer runs but does not get hot, the problem could be a defective heating element, high temperature cutout thermostat, temperature cycling thermostat thermal overload fuse. The thermostats and thermal fuse are located on top of the heating element enclosure and can be seen as soon as you open the top of the dryer. Thermostats are nothing more than temperature-operated switches. The temperature-cycling thermostat opens and closes repeatedly to keep the drum at the selected temperature. The high-limit thermostat is a safety device that keeps the temperature from reaching dangerously high levels if the temperature-cycling thermostat fails to open properly. The thermal fuse is another safety backup to keep the temperature from rising to a dangerous level if both the cycling thermostat and high limit-thermostat fail. Thermal fuses are not resettable and must be replaced once they open. The heating element itself is enclosed and located behind the drum, but can be tested from the top by using its exposed terminal. Thermostats, thermal fuses and heating elements are all tested by taking a continuity reading through them, but testing the operating temperatures of thermostats takes specialized equipment, so simply replace them if you suspect they are not opening properly.

My old Tumble dryer gave up the ghost after 25 years and could not be repai

My old Tumble dryer gave up the ghost after 25 years and could not be repaired, So i started to look around and read reviews ect .And it seemed heat pump Tumble dryers are the way to go .. And this tumble dryer ticked all the boxes, and it had a 5 year warranty. Its very easy to use , It does take longer to dry the clothes . but its very cheap to run and way more economical than my old dryer. I also love the light inside the dryer , its a nice little touch

Look up who Grundigs parent company is, however at £20 more their "value range", it comes with a 5 yr guarantee. Heat pump is the way to go, It doesn't get hot so can dry delicates, and recycles the air so doesn't fill the room with moisture. Added to that it uses a 3rd of the energy of a condenser dryer - I think they are worth the price premium

I Purchased A Grundig GTN38250HGCW A++ as an upgrade from a 10 year old condensing C grand tumble dryer. I'm was very nervous about buying a new tumble dryer with a new type of technology, but after watching a few videos on how it works on you tube I decided to give it a go. Ok so the first thing to understand before purchasing a heat pump tumble dryer is that it will take longer to dry your cloths ! Once you accept that you will get on ok with it ! My old C Grade tumble dryer would take about 110 mins to fully dry a full load 6KGs , Great! - fast but expensive and it would always leave condensation on the kitchen windows . The Grundig Heat pump tumble dryer will do the same load in around 150 mins to fully dry a 6kg load - 190mins for 8kg load Grundig does claim that it will do them faster but this is restricted to 'cupboard dry- 60% dry' if like me you like your cloths to be dry when you bring them out they will take a little longer. As for energy consumption- I hooked up my electric consumption monitor to the power cable and was delighted to see that it does actually use half the power of my old C grade ! Ok so so if I set the program to the "Cupboard dry /60% dry" it would have probable used a lot less power and Grundig would be correct in their claims of energy consumption but I wanted dry cloths so yes it dose eat a little more power but still it is a lot cheaper. As for noise levels - well I've upgraded from a 10 year old machine that was very noisy so its bound to be better ! But I am presently surprised. I had read a lot of comments that said it was just to noisy. But to be honest for what it is and the job its doing I think its fine.
