Aeg 87695WD not drying
Hi All
i have the Aeg 87695WD
PNC 91460570201
Clothes coming out hot and steamy for drying , wash works fine
iv had the thing in bits and condenser according to a German service manual I found is part of drum , no way to clean or even across though from videos i don’t think there’s a blockage
Condenser solenoid valve seems to be filling a cup just fine and measures 5.3 ohms so I’m at a loss what’s wrong feel like putting a hammer through it at the moment.
I've only ran the dryer for 5 or 10mins. Enough for the valve to open twice and draw water through, and enough time to get the drying steaming hot.
if someone can watch the videos and let me know any other ideas I’d be grateful

Far as I can tell the condenser valve works fine and water runs in to drain pipe.
Is there anything else I’m missing ps fans also run fine.
any help would be much appreciated , I did post on ukwhitegoods forum but thought I’d try here too so apologies if this is a duplicate

Hi. Does this article help at all? Laundry comes out of washer-dryer hot and steamy

Hello. It seems as though everything is working. It's heating up, the water is trickling into the condenser chamber and being pumped out. So the suspicion is that the fan chamber is blocked or the fan isn't actually running. I would guess the hot air is not being circulated through the laundry.

If you watch the last video the water is leaving via the drain pipe and the machine is taking water via solenoid at least in first 15 mins
The fan is glued Unit bar the fan itsself but wouldnt the fact that clothes are hot indicate the fan is working to blow air ??
As I mentioned and I’m happy to be corrected the condenser is not a separate unit like on most models it’s a channel on the back of the drum which is molded to it so no way to access bar a hole under the fan which is blocked and only has small cutouts to impossible to get in and clean bar pouring hot water down it maybe.
Iv read a lot and tried a lot of things yet still no closer to solving this myestery which is hard to accept as machine is a quality product that washes fine.
Any other pointers would be very much welcomed.
Cheers
It should hopefully let you understand exactly how the fault is created. That is, the heater must work but the steam isn’t condensed into water and/or being pumped out Once you understand how the hot steamy conditions must be created it’s just a matter of process of elimination to work out what is causing it.
it can only be the fan not running, the fan running but fan chamber blocked, no water running into the condenser chamber or water running in but the condensed water not running into the drum to be pumped away due to a blockage.

No sadly check all the common culprits so article doesn’t help that much
