Hoover Vision HD 781 XTB condenser dryer- leak

[helly]

Help!! last year i bought a new hoover vision condenser dryer which leaked from the door, had 3 new seals and a new door 😯 . All the engineers who came said that they had never seen this before couldnt resolve the problem and Hoover eventually replaced the machine and i had a new one delivered 3 weeks ago.

it hasnt been used much as weather has been good but put it on today and it appears to have a leak from the door :rolls: please could anyone give an opinion on this i cant believe that i can have 2 machines with the same fault?

The clothes are well spun before they go in and this machine does seen to dry better than the last one. The problem appears to happen when the condensate collects on the glass.

would be grateful for any thoughts.

Hi, its in the kitchen under the worktop at the end of the units. booklet says there should be at least 12mm from any obstruction which it has well over.

Though I’m not a Whitegoods engineer, and not familiar with your machine, It sounds odd that you should be getting condensation on the glass.

From what I understand, the machine warms air, passes it through the damp, tumbling clothes, then evacuates the hot, moisture-laden air. to dry the air, it has to be chilled (basic physics, the warmer the air, the more moisture it holds)…..the condenser does the chilling, but it sounds though your door is doing the same thing.
I’d expect the inside of the doorglass to be warm -enough to not condense the moisture, as that’s a bit self-defeating.

Is the machine in a cold/draughty/damp location?

Odd things can happen with atmospheric moisture….I’ve seen a workshop air-compressor collect a quart of water a day,-moved 30 feet along the same workshop, it didn’t collect that in a month!

I don’t know if your machine recirculates the same air, or exhausts the drier air…if it does, I’d check that the exhaust has a free, unobstructed flow,as a poor airflow through the washing would saturate the air to the point where the coldest surface starts condensing it….also, make sure you’re not obstructing something when you put it back in it’s “hole”
