Dry cycle It seems the only way I can get my Malber WD 1000 dryer to work is by going from a wash cycle first. Is there no way to just set it to dry only? I try (half load button pushed in, cold water only button on) but setting only the dryer dial and pressing the power button does not start the dryer. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

I think it should be normal.One of our washing machines does it too.No problem so far.

on my wd1000 i removed back cover and on top left side there is a electric/electronic component,i noticed a slight burn mark where one of the connections were.I cleaned and crimped it tighter and it has been fine ever since!

Well it turns out that the pipes were not properly connected...however, I think the machine is very confusing anyway. This is my understanding of the Malber WD 1000...at this point in time. I've only used it once. The first dial (on the left) has to do with how fast you want to spin the clothes...I set it at 600 and that seemed to be fine for perm press. The second dial has to do with the temperature...I am still confused...it is the temp of the wash or dry? Its just darn right confusing. The third dial has to do with starting the wash. I put it on 3 for perm press. Now I wonder, if I turn it to 5, delicates, will it still go straight into dry mode? As a woman, I have a lot of things I dont like to dry, so if anyone figures this out before I do, please tell.

i would check the thermostat and heating element. one or the other is not on enouph to dry your clothes.

jack it should start turning after a while as soon as the dryer has warmed up.
Does it dry however?

use the rinse cycle on the machine in conjunction with the spin that should solve the problem

pete5runner back again: The check you should make is to disconnect the two wires to the heating element carefully (with unit unplugged). Then connect a 110 voltmeter to the two wires. The plug in the machine and start a dry cycle. If you see 110 volts on the voltmeter, then you know that power is getting to the heating element, and you have isolated the heating element as defective. If you need a heating element, I got one in NY by calling 718-767-7396. New element was $29, shipping included. I don't know if he will ship to where you are located. Good luck, and let me know what happens.

Unplug the dryer and replug back up again.

Put on wash /let it go thru the cycles.

It may be a control board problem. Contact Malber USA ([email protected]) for assistance.

If the machine is brand new, I imagine all you want to do is check you're using the machine correctly before you claim on the warranty. Trouble is, the design of this machine is so weird, and the instructions so poor that it's easy to get it wrong. So far as I can make out from this distance, you need to have all of: Spin Cancel: Out Half Load: In Cold/Cold: In Hot/Cold: Out Cold water supply: Available Drain Hose: Connected .... and as with most condensing dryers, you need to let it run to the end of its cycle - if you take stuff out without running the final 12 minute cooldown period, everything will come out feeling a bit clammy. If those control settings don't help, try a functional faultfinding approach. To dry properly, the machine needs to do four things at once: 1. Tumble the clothes: You can see whether this is happening or not. From your description, it sounds like this is working. If this isn't right, see if changing control settings works, but then for a new machine make a warranty call. 2. Blow hot air over the clothes: You should be able to hear the fan running, and if you open the door, the air which comes out should be quite warm. If this isn't right, see if changing control settings works, but then for a new machine make a warranty call. 3. Condense the moisture out of the circulating air: If this isn't happening, the clothes don't get any dryer - they just get increasingly hot. Before making a warranty claim, all you need to do with this problem is ensure that the supplies and settings are such that cold water (and only cold water) is getting to the condenser. 4. Pump out the condensate: If you've just washed successfully, this is probably going to be working fine. If not, then you'll start to see the drum slowly filling with water. If this happens, check the filter (p12 of the manual), then get the warranty claim going. Welcome follow-on questions or news on how you get on posted as a comment to this query. A.
