ParticipantHi all, I recently posted a fault with a 2 year old Hotpoint condensing tumble dryer and decided to bin it and swap it for a Electrolux EDE57160W under advice from the lovely folks on this forum, but….. we’ve had our second one delivered today and I need to call them to take it back again. The first one we had lasted 6 days before it began turning itself off after 30 seconds or so, and the second today is a bit uncertain of what to do – it’s blowing cold sometimes, other time blowing hot, but it just turns itself off after a while for no reason again. I may have been unlucky twice, but I thought these things were meant to be amongst the better ones out there.
For your info:
– I’ve knocked a hole through the wall to vent externally and there’s no problem with airflow,
– This is a vented model with sensor dry,
– The dryer lives in an unheated utility room,
– Neither have been abused as we never got the chance!Should I get a 3rd machine; have a change of plan about manufacturer; get my money back and sit with a hairdryer; get my money back and fix the old Hotpoint CTD30 for £95 and find an extended warranty for it?
Thanks again for any help.

quite strange this one to me anyway others may differ.
however instruction manual does say it must be used in a room +5c to 35c. and does sugest in user manual p21 if it is underloaded or too dry it will stop. and sugests using another program.
With 9 programs to use it may take a little getting used to or youve been extreemly unlucky.
just a thoughtWvm

ParticipantThe room is unheated but it was hovering around 8-9c when the dryer was on. Also, as the washing was taken straight from our washing machine in to the dryer they wouldn’t have been too dry. I am strongly considering looking for a new manufacturer as I am very disappointed with Electrolux/Zanussie/AEG with my lot so far – any suggestions.
