This guide documents how I ended up replacing the motor of my 3 year old Tumble dryer AEG Lavatherm Exclusiv Protex Plus Model: T97689IH3 Type: TC12H6THP Prod. No.: 916 097 440 06 When running, the tumble dryer is very noisy. It sounds a bit like metal scraping against metal. It is a bit disappointing to see this kind of problems in a 3 year old machine. Before I started out I looked up several resources on the internet. e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjxOsP1e...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BDryWPX...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEf9YByH... Warning: make sure you disconnect the tumble dryer from mains whenever you touch anything inside, and also beware that the capacitors are likely charged, so you may want to discharge them.

ШагиSteps

Bring the tumble dryer into service mode

Before you begin, disconnect the dryer from the power socket. Be careful not to touch any large capacitors—they can electrocute you. You can manually discharge them by making a discharge tool.

Narrow down the problem

By spinning the drum using service mode #3, and by simply turning the drum by hand, you can hear that something is not right. I suspect that it has to be a faulty bearing, or worse: the motor itself. https://youtu.be/v1mC68JpMK4

Lifting of the belt

To further narrow down the problem, you should lift the belt of the drive shaft. https://youtu.be/5y6D12VbnWw
With the belt lifted of the drive shaft and running test mode, it is clear that the motor is the source of the noise. https://youtu.be/7E6duSL5qig
The motor is labelled: Nidec db085d50e00 cl.180 P/N: 807252401
