    Our dryer has suddenly stopped working, put a load in just now and it makes an unusual kind of humming sound. Belt is intact.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Thank you!

    maybe the capacitor, although this is usually a fault mainly on the CTD00 condenser dryer, yours is a vented type. With the lid off, start it up and push the drum round by hand, if it starts-its the capacitor

    Dumb question, but where is the capacitor? Just looked at hotpoint spares and they have 2 types of capacitor for our model.

    Just want to say a big thank you once again, we got a capacitor delivered for under £15. Hubby fitted it and it is now in good working order once again :tleft:
