Candy CSOEC8TBGB-80 Condenser Tumble Dryer Drum Not Spinning
Hi i have the Candy CSOEC8TBGB-80 condenser tumble dryer stripped down, i have watched the video on how to replace the capacitor but i am just worried it could be something different as the humming noise it is making is the same however when i roll the drum, it does not kick in and spin, it just dies off, belt is in good condition, drum does move. just not continuously. i don't mind buying the the capacitor online when i find it but just wondering if it is something else also
I will try and help with this problem about Candy CSOEC8TBGB-80 Condenser Tumble Dryer,
Hi Craig,
Slyder here about your Candy condensing tumble dryer problem. To find the right capacitor for this machine, you might need to take it apart. The capacitor is usually on top of the motor. Sometimes, Candy only sells the motor and capacitor together as one unit. However, you can get a replacement part, but we need to know its size. They are typically between 7UF and 9UF. You won't know for sure until you remove it and check.
I've added a link to spare parts at the top of the page. If there are any parts available in our local warehouse, they will be listed at the bottom of the page. I also found the wiring diagram and exploded views of the machine for you. There are some technical documents I got from Candy's website too.
If it's not the capacitor, it might be the motor. Make sure the drum turns freely without the belt on the motor. This will help you check if there are any worn bearings or fluff build-up stopping the drum from turning.
I've included several videos at the bottom of the page to help you access the machine. Good luck with your repair!
