Possible Causes

Shorted triac on main control board, Damaged motor control circuit, Shorted motor windings, Wiring short between motor and PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Control board work involves delicate electronics and should be done by experienced persons only.

Preliminary checks:

  • Inspect motor and wiring: Look for obvious shorts, burnt connectors, or damaged insulation on the motor harness.
  • Test motor windings: Measure resistance between motor terminals and to earth. Very low resistance or continuity to earth indicates a shorted motor.

Control board:

  • Remove the main PCB and visually inspect the motor triac area for burn marks or cracked components.
  • Component-level repair is possible but typically requires electronic repair skills.

Recommendation: In most cases, replacing the main control board (and motor if shorted) is the practical repair. Due to the risk of further damage, this is usually a job for a Candy-authorized technician.
