Advice on fixing Hotpoint Aquarius not drying fully

[Allan Stevens]

Would anyone be able to offer some advice? I have a Hotpoint Aquarius tumble driver model AQC9BF7S1.

It heats up as expected at the start of a cycle but after about 10 minutes the heating part stops but the cycle continues. It will only heat up if I cancel the cycle and start again.

I had thought it was just the thermostats so I have replaced them, no change. I have then bought a replacement kit with the element, thermostat and humidity sensor, once fitting I still have the same issue.

I’m at this point I’m really stuck? could it be the circuit board? I don’t really want to spend anymore money on it asit’s getting very expensive! I was just wondering if you have any advice on how to get this working?

Thanks, Allan

you mean it continues cold ?

how long does it run cold before it decides its the end ?

what i am thinking is it decides its dry enough and goes into the 10 min cool down phase and stops

is the condenser clear both ways, mainly front to back ?
