I have a TVF770 which is meant to sense when the clothes are dry and automatically adjust the drying to to prevent over drying.
I am guessing that the sensor has failed because the last three or four times I have run the machine the time has run down a little and then stopped counting down, with the machine just running and running. When I eventually stopped the machine, each time the clothes were bone dry and burning hot.
I have looked on spares websites, but I can only find replacement thermostats and talk of using them when your clothes come out wet.
Does anyone think this is likely to be the problem, and if so can you advise on where the moisture sensor is in the machine and where I can get a replacement? FYI I have replaced the heater element once before and I know there are three sensors in that assembly – maybe one of them is the moisture sensor?
Thanks
Re: TVF770 Not Sensing Clothes Are Dry
Has this fault occured before or since it was modified by Hotpoint’s safety recall?
Re: TVF770 Not Sensing Clothes Are Dry
It’s never occurred before yesterday when it occurred three times in a row. It was modified by Hotpoint following their recall about two months ago, but given then fact the machine is over 5 years old and gets run multiple times every day I wouldn’t like to say if there is any connection between the fault and the modification or if it is purely coincidence.
