Hotpoint TCFS93BGG (UK). Ind:- 95859680100. Serial:- 409104004. 2015 model.
What are the mods being done under the recall on these late driers.. anyone got the list of parts fitted please………
Cheers,
Steve.
Re: Hotpoint condenser drier mods info please.
There’s no info on the models Steve, the only way to check it is on the HP website as they’ve not released a list of the affected machines. 😕

Re: Hotpoint condenser drier mods info please.
Not quite what I was asking Ken……
The customer has had the machine modified last month and the heater safety stat has tripped out already – machine spotlessly clean and no evidence or reason for it to do so. My question was kinda cryptic as the customer insisted the engineer was there for 20 mins only and the back panel date stamp matches the internal parts dating. She is sure the rear end wasn’t changed, hence my question. Is the rear panel changed on these or are they cleaned up and refitted? The pop rivet is in place and the green spot sticker is on it so it has been modded.
I can find the stat kit for this machine (C00306861) but is the heater that Connect show these stats fitting a ‘before mod or after’ unit?
They had rung Hotpoint as they considered that the drier heater shouldn’t fail one month later; Hotpoint weren’t interested and offered a chargeable call to fix it. Then I get a call….. just want to be sure that fixing it isn’t going to cause any issues; or am I worrying too much (as usual!)Steve.
Re: Hotpoint condenser drier mods info please.
Yes, the rear panel as I understand it must be changed or there can be, mhm, issues.
The mod is said to take 40-60 mins to do so, 20 seems more than a bit low.
Given what you’re saying and that I know some have “allegedly” not been modified correctly I’d be very suspicious as well.
And you’re bang on as, if you do anything and it’s not right guess who’ll get the blame for any subsequent problems! :rolls:

Re: Hotpoint condenser drier mods info please.
I’ve heard the best time is 45 minutes and as Ken says the rear panel MUST be replaced.
I’ve also heard of Hotpoint following up and doing spot checks on stuff that’s been modified,I assume to avoid anyone not doing the full mod.
The issue has to be the last person that looked at it is responsible for the unit as a whole,may be worth you ringing Hotpoint as an engineer and asking there advice as to what should be fitted
