    After 5 brilliant well used years the drum wont turn and the back of the machine glowed red then i had smoke, is it safe to assume this dryer has expired?

    well, the motor isnt turning,
    is it humming?
    it could just be the capacitor
    but, it may be the motor
    thing is, that dryer is 50 times better than any of the current hotpoint range

    if you decide to change it, buy a zanussi

    then it may be worth trying a capacitor

    dont use it as it is, or run it for too long, the thrmostats will trip

    “Are they easy to fit? “


    Judging by your user-name, I’d have to say “NO” 😛

    Cars are easy to repair for a mechanic……mere mortals don’t even open the bonnet………Unplug the machine start removing cabinet access panels……if you find the motor, the capacitor will be connected to it with 2 wires (often it’s clipped to the motor-typically a metal or plastic cylinder with the 2 wires poking from one end (or terminals).

    If you feel uncomfortably out of your depth,-what about asking a friend/neighbour with good DIY skills?
