Hello,
I got this Simpson easydry for free today all it need was a new lead and a fan belt (luckily I had spares) Here are some photos: |

simple ... and therefore longlived! I notice the foam lint filter isn't in the photo ... or did this model have a wire mesh? You'll have a lot of dust bunnies to chase if something isn't in place ... Have fun with your latest toy! |

There was no lint filter, don’t have any spares for this model.
Just a question, how do I remove the circuit board on this machine as it’s not switching to cool-down and the element is staying on. |

These Simpson dryers are the only dryers I have worked on, I agree that the drum belts are a pain to get on.
But accessing the timer is ver annoying and getting the back panel out of the way is annoying to do without a photo. Never worked on any Hoover dryer, but I doubt they are nearly as reliable as these. I have gotten scrapes from the sharp edges but nothing sever yet. The circuit board don’t seem to be that complicated but there are some chips on it with 10 or more legs (this dryer has very weird heat sensors, there is one on the bottom left side at the rear and 2 where the fan is). This dryer does not have any relays, I find that very interesting. But I’m wondering if the “cooling” globe is burnt out and that’s why I’m having these issues. I do not have a watt meter but I do have something that can test if a wire is live wirelessly. The burnt wire made a hole in the dryers element! Wonder if that cooked something on the circuit board. Something else is that dryer had no fan belt and I don’t mean that it had a broken one I mean it was gone, so I wonder if that cooked a few components on the control board. I do have a multimeter but it is vintage (not digital) so testing the components might be a problem but I think if anything died it would be visible. |

I think the element staying on when it ended it’s cycle as t actually happening, because I let it run for 20s and then turned it off and pulled the plug and when I was pulling it apart the whole machine was hot to the touch.
But not having a cool-down/air dry cycle is an issue. I will take the control board out though and check everything. |

Element Staying On, No Cool Down, Check the element for a short to ground, very common problem on lots of dryers.
Te burned wire on the door is just a bad wire connection and door switch, very common problem on European style dryers because they often run the heater current through the door switch which causes failures of this kind, this fault does not indicate any other problem with the dryer.
