Hi Thanks first for reading – here goes
i have a Hotpoint Aquarius FTCL871 Heat Pump Condenser Dryer, and it wont get warm – new to me these ones, and im wondering if anyone has dealt with these probs before – i have done thermostats on others – but i have no idea on these, where or if they have them? safety shut off switch? or its the pump itself
Any help
Re: Help Needed
heat pump dryers don’t get that hot to start with but, it’s the same thing really other than the heat source is a refrigerant unit and not a traditional element.
All else is the same only different.

Re: Help Needed
I have had this running for over 20 mins with no heat at all – are you saying that this refrigerant unit is needed to be replaced??? is there an easy fix?
cheers in advance
Re: Help Needed
No heat at all could be a number of things and, I’ve no access to any technical documentation at all for those so, I don’t know.
All I can tell you is that all heat pump dryers take an age to get heated up, often the initial dry cycle will take two hours, sometimes more. And, the same principals apply in respect to ambient temps etc as they do for refrigeration.
I can also tell you that it likely won’t be an easy fix and that, without access to any info on it probably extremely difficult if possible at all.
