My White Knight CL 432 will not tumble - it heats up ok but no tumble. If I open the door and turn the drum by hand, quickly shutting the door afterwards it will run ok until it needs to change direction, then it just sits there humming again until I repeat the actions. Any help greatly appreciated.
The problem with your dryer is a faulty motor capacitor, Dis- connect from mains, remove the panel at the rear of dryer at the bottom, when you look inside you will see the motor and attached to this is the capacitor, a silver coloured tube with 4 wires connected to it, 2 yellow & 2 brown. Before removing these mark them so as to replace in same order, I suggest using a piece of masking tape with the wire marked on it. The capacitor is attached with a 13mm bolt ( keep this and washer),remove and then go to www.sparesrus.co.uk and order a 8 mfd capacitor which costs £7.49 with P&P , attach new capacitor with the old bolt and washer, refit the wires observing the line on capacitor casing, the 2 yellow to the left of line (top and bottom)and 2 brown to the right (top and bottom) refit panel and the dryer will be ok. I have recently carried this out to my own dryer.
