This is something I've had happen on a couple of condenser dryers in the past. If the O-ring wears out, it can either break or ping off, thus the valve no longer operates when the tank is reinserted. Because water cannot enter the container it accumulates in the sump instead, triggering the tank full light.
The link below shows an exploded diagram of the condensing system on this model, where you can clearly see the location of the O-rings on both the sump valve and tank valve. Replacing the O-rings cures the problem. I always did the full set while the dryer was apart, just to be sure. The genuine parts are far too expensive for what they are however, so you may prefer to source them from a hardware supplier instead. Maplin, for example, sells a bulk assortment pack that will do the job nicely, with plenty left over for future repairs or other uses. CLICK HERE TO GO TO spiraclean's LINK |
