Hoover VHC391 Condenser start indicator flashing

[Kevin1977]

Hi,

We have a Hoover VHC391 Condenser Tumble Dryer which keeps unexpectedly stopping, it’ll work fine for anywhere between 5-15 minutes and then it just stops and the red arrow light (Start indicator) starts flashing. If we then pause the machine and then start it again it’ll happily carry on for a few more minutes and then stop again with the same start indicator light flashing.

This happens no matter what the size of the load and we’ve made absolutely sure that the filter and condenser are both clear (having given the condenser a blast with a hose pipe just to make sure) and that the water container is empty.

The heater element and thermostat have both been replaced by me and the machine thoroughly cleaned but the problem persists.

Please can anyone help?
