Hotpoint CDN7000P (UK) Tumble Dryer intermittently spinning

[electrofix]

if there is moist air leaking out the dryer and the floor is cold it will condense on it leaving a puddle

Hi Dave

If your still keeping an eye on this post, something else has cropped up that I wondered if you could help me with.

My wife tells me that it’s not getting as hot as it used to.
Now I put a new Heating element in about 6 months ago or less, so I just wondered if its likely to be that, it seems to make little to no difference if you push the button in for high heat or low heat.

Thanks

Simon

the element assembly consists of 2 elements primary and secondary. so to speak. the primary is used all the time and the secondary is switched in for high heat
it sounds like the second element is not switching in or is faulty

Thanks Dave

I’ll take the element out & make sure its connected ok, Failing that I assume its another new heating element?

Bloody Hell

I just tool of the plastic cover off, the one that covers the bearing and the top of the bearing fell off, along with the split pin that holds it in.
I get the impression that I’m playing wakamole with this dryer.

I think its come to the end, I’m not going to continue to pay out for it.
So looks like I’d welcome suggestions for a reasonably priced Tumble dryer. One with a condenser please.

Looks like the bearing has sheered off. The drum still turns ok. but as I said, I think its come to the end of its life.

I’ve spent about £150 on parts in the last year or so. I’m better off investing in a new machine.

So again, I welcome any suggestions preferably in the £300 to £350 area?

[The Equalizer]

I’m just looking at the Bosch WTN83201GB, which I can get hold of for £338 on Amazon used & Returned, which usually means opened unused and returned

[The Equalizer]

There seems to be a few Candy machines about for that price as well

[electrofix]

dont even think of candy really aweful machines to work on

Hotpoint etc have a bad rear bearing system as you have just found out, can be repaired but its a drum out job

Bosch are much better and 2 years guarentee

Beko are not too bad either

Thanks Dave

I will report back, but I can only say Thank you.

I have read a few topics lately on this forum about Heat Pump Dryers, and as our dryer is in a partly unheated part of the house, I don’t think its wise to go for a Heat pump.

I’m looking at the Hoover H-DRY 300 LITE HLE C10DCER-80 10kg

or the Beko B3T4911DG 9kg

If I was to try Heat pump, I’d possibly look at the Hotpoint NT M11 9X3E 9kg

Also Looking at this Hoover H-Dry 300 HLEC9TCE

[electrofix]

by the way hoover and candy are the same drier same company

like hotpoint creda indesit and electrolux AEG Zanussi and Bosch Siemans neff

just had to change a motor capacitor on a hoover, real pain of a job

all dryers have a minimum working temp and you don’t want condensation to form on electronic board because that would void your warranty
