Tvfs83cgp(uk): with the knob turned to off user tells me the lights
And buzzer will suddenly come on, It’s not done it for me.
But I don’t doubt the user, suspect PCB

Nothing wrong with the knob then, no spillages behind it or some such?

ModeratorRe: Hotpoint dryer starts when off,
Just read this from manual, as you have not seen the fault it could be that your customer is mistaking these functions?
9. When the END indicator light turns on, the programme has ended. The buzzer will beep 3 times to let you know that your programme is complete. Open the door, remove the laundry then clean the filter and replace it (see Care and maintenance)..
If the clothes are not removed at the end of the cycle the automatic POST CREASE CARE action will, on those programmes with this feature, continue to rotate the drum intermittently for up to 10 hours to minimise creasing. The phase is stopped when the door is opened or when the knob is set to OFF
10. Set the program knob to OFF to switch off the machine.
11. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply.
Automatic pre-post Anti Crease This is an automatic function which provides an anti crease treatment both before and after the drying programme. By periodically rotating the drum before the start of the drying cycle, when a delayed start is selected, the formation of creases is prevented. On certain programmes the drum also rotates periodically at the end of the drying cycle on. The phase is stopped when the door is opened or when the knob is set to OFFOctober 8, 2017 at 7:43 am #450955Martin

I doubt a squirt of switch cleaner would have any effect but is sounds like contact is made intermittently with adjacent programs in that off position. But worth a try I suppose before changing the board. 🙁
