Polar Dafne PDH 585 Washer: Smoke Emerging from Drum Post-Spinning Cycle

dagor006 35899 20
Best answers

Why did smoke come out of the drum after the washing machine finished spinning, and what should I check or replace?

The smoke was most likely caused by a damaged heater rubbing against the drum because the drum bearings and seal were worn, not by the belt. Check the heater for proper resistance (about 26 Ω) and for leakage to ground, and inspect the drum bearings by removing the belt and turning the drum by hand; any noise or roughness points to bearing failure [#5954669][#5957794] If the heater shows scuff marks or the drum has play, replace the bearings and the simmering/seal, because the heater can rub through and short when the machine runs without water [#5952577][#5957589] In the reported case, water was leaking along the shaft, confirming the seal/bearing problem rather than the heater itself [#5957589] After replacing the bearings and simmerings, the problem was solved; a bearing puller was needed to remove the crosshead [#5979379]

    Hello
    After finishing the spinning program, smoke started coming out of the drum. I thought it was the belt, I took off the back and top but there I could not smell any burning. Smoke came out only from inside the drum. The washing machine did not throw the fuses. Please help. What could have happened
    Greetings.

    To check clean the pressure system as well as the heater, since it may have already burned out. Greetings.

    Pressure system ie hydrostat? I looked at it organoleptically, but I can't feel anything. And how to check the heater?

    Hello.KOL.staszekf did not write about the hydrostat as such.To clean from it down ie the hose and to the tank itself-primarily the plastic element (,,pipe") (exactly),the heater (without a meter) is the easiest way to set the program with heating and wait.

    And you don't happen to have an additional relay installed on the heater supply?

    Check the heater, it is supposed to be about 26Ω. Perhaps it is burned out and short-circuiting to the housing begins to heat on a shortened circuit. Hydrostat has nothing to do here, if it smokes on spinning. If you have a differential switch in the installation, then do not take my suggestions into account.

    Maybe there is a leak from the tank to the engine or pump.
    Worth checking.

    I checked the wire and pipe from the hydrostat - clean. I removed the heater because I had the impression that it somehow heats less well. The stained but working one has the right resestance. I am further in a quandary.

    Check for leakage (short circuit) to ground.Greetings.

    Replace the heater.

    The heater does not have a puncture but it is stained so I will replace it anyway. I will save on electricity. The only thing I found is that the heater is rubbed on one side as if rubbing against the drum. As for the question about spinning is spinning took place the washing machine normally turned off, after opening it began to come out smoke from the drum. I still have a question next to the hydrostat pipe something else is located in the drum to which two cables come. Could this component have been damaged?

    If there are scuff marks on the heater, it is possible that there are drum clearances due to bearing damage, does the washing machine spin loudly?

    It's hard to say whether it goes loudly. A person gets used to the sound of a washing machine.

    Remove the belt and vigorously turn the drum, it should be quiet, if you hear any noises - bearings to be replaced.

    I replaced the heater. I did a test pouring water to determine if it was leaking. And it turned out that water is leaking, but not from the heater but along the shaft. So I think that the simmer has worn out, the bearings probably also to be replaced. Smoke in the drum was probably caused by the bearings. Now my question is whether it is possible to replace the bearings yourself at home or do you need some specialized tools like pullers, special wrenches, etc.?

    Smoke in the drum was caused by the damaged heater rubbed through the drum running on damaged bearings turned on without water(shortened circuit) on the spin program. Replace the bearings as soon as possible before the situation is not repeated.

    After changing the bearings and simmerings, the problem was solved. Removal of the crosshead required the purchase of a bearing puller (expense of 26 zloty). Pounding the shaft bolt with a hammer if the shaft is corroded is unfortunately a waste of time. I thank everyone for their help and close the topic.
