I have disassembled and cleaned the pressure switch, air valves, etc. no clogs, all in good repair. This assembly will get too hot to touch in 5-10 minutes of use. The hose will get to hot to touch in 15-20 minutes of use. The tank itself will get warm. I believe the only place that could generate this heat is the pump piston, part #048-0774. Does anyone believe replacing this part will solve the heat problem?

If your Ingersoll Rand SDR25 compressed air dryer is not shutting off when the air tank is full, there are a few possible causes:

1. Faulty solenoid valve: The solenoid valve is responsible for controlling the flow of compressed air through the dryer. If the valve is faulty, it may not be closing properly, which could prevent the dryer from shutting off.
2. Clogged or dirty inlet filter: If the inlet filter is clogged or dirty, it can restrict airflow through the dryer, which could prevent the solenoid valve from closing and the dryer from shutting off.
3. Faulty pressure switch: The pressure switch is responsible for monitoring the pressure in the air tank and turning off the compressor when the tank is full. If the pressure switch is faulty, it may not be sending the signal to the dryer to shut off.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the solenoid valve: Disconnect the air supply to the dryer and check the solenoid valve for proper operation. The valve should be closed when no power is applied, and should open when power is applied. If the valve is not operating properly, it may need to be replaced.
2. Clean or replace the inlet filter: Check the inlet filter for any signs of clogging or dirt buildup. If the filter is dirty, clean or replace it and check if this resolves the issue.
3. Check the pressure switch: Check the pressure switch for proper operation. You can use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity and check if it is sending the correct signal to the dryer to shut off.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for further assistance with troubleshooting and repairing the air dryer.

YOU MAY HAVE A BAD WATER INLET VALVE NOT CLOSING PROPERLY?

Test the water pressure level switch a pressure activated switch that is used to determine the correct water level in the tub. This part is normally located behind the control panel and will have a hose or air dome tube that connects it to the tub. On washers that use an electronic control, this switch may be located at the sump area below the tub. As the water fills in the tub it will compress the air in the tube and push against a diaphragm inside the switch. The switch will control the water inlet valve and turn the valve off at the correct water level. If the tube has a leak, not enough pressure may be created to activate the switch and the washer may overfill. If the switch is defective it may also cause the machine to overfill. To determine if the switch is bad, you should first eliminate the air dome hose as a problem. Look for signs of cracks or worn areas on the hose. Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well. If the air dome hose appears to be ok, then the water level switch may be defective.


You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube.

If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good

( No wash- then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED).

# Test procedures to follow when a GE Hotpoint washer is not filling

* Disconnect the washer from the wall outlet

* Set the timer dial on regular and pull the knob to turn the timer push-pull switch on

* Set the temperature switch to the cold/cold setting

* Open the controls panel to gain access to the water mixing valve solenoids

* Touch the 2 terminals on the cold water solenoid with your volt meter test proves. Make sure that your body don't touch the washer cabinet, this eliminate the chance of getting an electrical shock.

* Have someone plug the washer cord for you while you check the voltage

* The reading should be 120 volts

* Disconnect the washer from the wall outlet

* Touch the 2 terminals on the hot water solenoid with your volt meter test proves. Remember, to keep your body from touching the washer cabinet to eliminate the chance of getting an electrical shock

Have your helper plug in the washer cord again so you could check the voltage at the hot water solenoid


The reading should be 120 volts. If you get 120 volts, this tells you that the wall outlet, the timer, the water temperature switch cold and hot water settings are working ok.

If the GE Hotpoint washer is not filling, the problem should be on the water valve, the screen filters or the water supply

4

If one of the solenoids is bad you will need to replace the complete water mixing valve assembly YOU SHOULD ALSO GET AN OHMS READING OR SHOW CONTINUITY WHEN TESTED UNPLUGGED ON BOTH SELINOIDS HOT AND COLD



To check the water valve, first cut the water off and remove the hoses off the back of the washer. Then one at a time point the hoses inside the washer tub and turn the water back on. If you don't have good water pressure, turn the water back off and remove the strainer that should be in one end of the hose. Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed.

If you still don't have good water pressure, the problem is in your house plumbing and you need to call a plumber. If you had good water pressure the first time you performed the test, the water valve is bad and needs replacing.

Hi

If the washer won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the pressure/water level switch assembly. Inspect the inlet hose coming to the washer for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the pressure/water level switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Error code IE means an water inlet error. Correct water level is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes. Unplug the washer before servicing.

• Make sure the water tap is open.
• Clean the water inlet valve filter.
• Check the water inlet valve assembly:
  

1. Remove the 2 screws on the back of the top plate.
2. Pull the top plate backward then upward as shown.
3. Disconnect the connectors from the inlet valve assembly one at a time and check the resistance between its terminals. Resistance should be 800-1200 ohms. Replace the inlet valve assembly if one or more of the valves is/are faulty.
4. Check the electrical connection between the inlet valve assembly and the main board. Repair open or loose connections.
   

• If no problem or fault is found above, turn on the machine and press the SPIN SPEED and SOIL LEVEL button simultaneously to check the water level frequency. The digits on the display indicates the water level frequency. If the value is 246 or above, replace the main board.
• If the water level frequency is below 246, check the pressure switch assembly, pressure switch tube and air chamber. The air chamber is found at the base of the washer on the other end of the pressure switch tube and connected to the bellow. Make sure they are not clogged and that the pressure switch is okay.
  

There is apossible restriction, but, whatever actuates the rrelease valve is what is actually malfuctioning.Depending on you level of detertermination, you can follow my approach to the dilemna if mass production. Since it doesn't work, find out why! Worse case scenario is the trash can, the best, A better understanding and working knowledge of the appliance. Screws usually hold these things together. Expresso machines are not inexpensive and there is a reason for those big bucks. No glue! So always taking the electrical part into consideration, there is no reason you cannot disassemble the unit and entertain yourself while at the same time learn something. Always take the approach that someone assembled it and you can disassemble it. If it does have glue, rhen it was anever intended to be serviced or repaired by anyone. So give it a shot and if you run into a problem, Give me a holler and we will keep moving. My ph. # is 909-630-3192.
