Hoover washer dryer thermostat tripping

[Stone R]

dynamic Next Model WDXOA596FN/1-80

it started after Xmas, the thermostat started to trip every so often when drying. It got progressively worse until I left the lid off which worked for a few weeks but now that no longer helps and both thermostat switches trip every dry cycle and nothing dries.

Any advice or links I can try please?
ive Tried looking for video clips but can’t find any for my model.
TIA!

The condenser duct is blocked to access this the heater box needs to be removed and the condenser needs to be cleaned this will be the reason your thermostat trip the 1st time and is still doing it now

Thanks Kaibart!

I need to get the right tool to remove the bolts as I can’t access with my drill. Few q’s in the meantime:
do I need to reseal the unit when putting it back together?
Looks like I’ll need to get a cable tie to re-attach the rubber pipe too- sound about right?
Don’t suppose you can link any instructional videos can you?

your help is much appreciated btw

there are no instruction videos unless there are any on youtube

all you have to to do it strip it and clean the fan and the condensor duct at the rear. I carry bits of wire coat hanger that i use to hook the lint out of the duct

Thanks Dave- I’ve just got the socket set so I’ll go for it tonight

There are 4 or 6 10mm bolts holding the duct on and the band that sits on the top of the door seal comes of easy and will go back on easy you dont have to dis connect any wires, and you don’t need to reseal anything if you do have what dave mentioned you can use the water hose that is attached to the machine by turning it on and off and spraying in the condenser
