Re: hotpoint CDT00 Tumble Drier
Can you hear a low humming noise when the motor is trying to turn ?
It may be the capacitor.
Power off when checking anything internally :zap:

Re: hotpoint CDT00 Tumble Drier
Cheers Dave,
I take it the capacitor is the cylindrical object near to the motor there is a lot of noise from the machine when switched on namely the condensate pump running. Is there anyway of checking the capacitor with a test meter to see if it is not working as there are no visible signs that it has developed a fault namely discolouring.Any help will be appreciated as the machine in question is only 13 months old. ❓Re: hotpoint CDT00 Tumble Drier

That’s the one, you can only check them accurately with a proper capicitance meter but they are pretty cheap, check the rating on it in UF value, a universal type should do the trick.
