After cca. 5 minutes F13 error code appears, ventilator buzzing
Hi,
I have a Hotpoint Washer/dryer. Washing works well, but drying stops with F13 code after cca. 5 minutes. The ventilator motor makes a buzzing noise. I think it turns slower, then it should, but can’t see any junk, to slow down it, I can rotate the blades easily. The motor of ventilator looks intact. In spite of that it is the reason of overheating?
Can someone help me?

New aspect: I connected the ventilator AC motor to the 230 V power network. The motor sometime spined well, then the rotation got slower and slower, then stopped, and after a bit it started to rotate again faster.
I don't know whether these AC motors are drived by frequency converter, or they get the 230V/50Hz power? In case the second option, I think the AC motor is faulty.

I’ve fixed it! :-)
The AC motor was faulty. In the beginning when I tryed to rotate it with my fingers I thought it rotates easily. But, when I get the new motor the new one was spinning so much easier, than the old one.
Since then the drying function works perfectly, no F13 error!
Thanks for every help!
