Default Bit of a long shot ...

Don't suppose anyone has got a 'retired' Indesit IDCA 735 condenser tumble
dryer sitting in the garage, or any mates in the washing machine / tumble
dryer repair trade that might have either intimate knowledge of this model,
or service info - specifically a wiring diagram. I believe there is also an
equivalent Creda and Hotpoint model.

Basically, I've done a front and back bearing rebuild and belt job on it.
It's all basically back together, but I have a wire left over, and I'm
buggered if I can see where it is from. I don't even remember taking it off.
It comes from the controller board, tag J11-1. This is at the bottom right,
immediately next to a thick mains earth wire which is on J11-2. The wire
that I'm having trouble finding a home for is thin black, with a small
un-insulated spade tag on the end. It heads in the general direction of the
front of the machine, but all the stuff like door interlock switch and
thermal cut out are connected. I thought at one point that it might be an
earth to somewhere as its tag on the controller PCB is right next to one
that actually is earth, but no continuity between the two. I'm wondering
whether there is a high value resistor between this wire and earth, and it
is some kind of static leak from the rotating drum somewhere. I've had the
unit powered, and it all seems to work as far as I can tell, so it's
obviously not something that is important to fundamental operation, but I'm
reluctant to return it to my daughter as being "all fixed now" without at
least knowing what the wire is, even if it would be impossible to get it
back on now it's all back together ...

Anyone help ? d:-\
