Dryer suddenly stopped - F&P ED56 Autosensing Dryer (by 9 users)


posted by tonianderick on Sep 09, 2007


I'm not too sure what the problem is, but I put a load of washing in the dryer & it was working fine, but it suddenly stopped. I opened it to check as it was as if the load had finished, but it was still wet. I closed the dryer up again and pressed the start button, but it wouldn't work. I then pressed the power button which wouldn't work either. I unplugged the dryer and plugged it back in, and it let me press the power button on it again, but still wouldn't start. I'm at a loss as to what to do now!!

My dryer is making a humming noise when I press the start button. It does not work. I tried unplugging it and replugged it. It still does not work.

dryer was working but suddenly it will not start at all. I opened the door and pushed the door button to see if was the door switch but that wasn't the
problem. It has power but it will not start.

lights on the panel come on and the switch clicks when it is pressed.circuit breakers are on,dryer door switch works properly because when you open the door after pushing in the switch the panel goes into the pause mode as it should if the dryer were spinning. the dryer did not make any noise or stop heating or anything like that, it simply will not start spinning when the switch is depressed no mater what selection you make. when you press the switch you hear a click sound behind the switch similar to what a relay would sound like when activated. no hum or any other noise.

The dryer was working, but stopped and the clothes in the dryer were still wet. I tried the circuit breaker but that wasn't the problem. I unplugged the dryer still nothing once I plugged it back in.

I just repaired my Asko Dryer and mine made the squeek and the drum quit.

I replaced the belt. I took the dryer down. I got a copy of the repair manuel. I ordered the new belt as the old belt was at the bottom of the dryer. I put the new belt on and off I went. It has been working with the new belt for the past 3 months. The old belt was 5 years old. How did I get a copy of the parts list? Google. How did I get a copy of the schematics? Friend. Oh, It did not do anything when the belt broke. All went blank except for the red LED that showed that I had power. I checked the circuit breaker first. I opened the front to see if there were any broken parts. I cleaned the inside and all around the drum with a vacuum cleaner extension.

Hi,
Check the house circuit breaker to make sure it isn't the problem first. It will be a two pole breaker probably 30 amp. Turn it all the way off and back on. if this doesn't work, refer back to previous solution. Good Luck.
