Re: hotpoint CTD40P FLASHING LIGHTS
No heat – safety thermostat has probably tripped. Can be heater or computer though………
Two different thermostat sets fitted to these, so serial number required to identify correct one.
Power off, if investigating.

That’s the kit for your machine. You’d be advised to get the test meter out and check that the safety has failed before shelling out – you’d be guessing.
Power off first.

Re: hotpoint CTD40P FLASHING LIGHTS
Be sure to check for the possible reasons for failure. Stopping the machine mid cycle before it has reached the ten minute ‘cool down’ period is a common cause of safety stat failure, also not keeping the condensor clean is another. The condensor is rather awkward to clean on these machines, a hose pipe or pressure washer in the back garden is the best way, should be done every week or so.

Re: hotpoint CTD40P FLASHING LIGHTS
Helo is suggesting that you should change the motor start/run capacitor. They break down over time and the motor can just stop mid-cycle. Airflow stops, safety trips……..
It’s here if you wish to go ahead with it:
