Hotpoint CTD00 P Condenser Dryer Buzzing

[feisar]

Hi, I have a CTD00 P condenser dryer. When I switch it on I just get a buzzing noise, and then nothing when the button is released. I have taken the side panel off and the sound is coming from the part behind the dial.

Before this there was a buzzing from near the motor also. But this doesnt buzz anymore.

The appliance has the serial no. 608170748

Sorry if this has been posted before, I have had a look but cannot find this exact same problem.

Is there anything I can check/have a look at?
Thanks

Yes, the peg is still there but I stuck a screwdriver in there and started the machine and no buzzing, the heater started up but still no spin. Does the motor kick in straight away? I cant remember.
I took the door switch off and had a look at how it works, I presume there is a cellunoid in the switch to push the pin down when the door is shut because it does not come down itself. Is this right?

So thats the buzzing fixed now when I start the motor does nothing but if I give it a push start it works but of course when it stops and goes in reverse it needs a helping hand again.

You need to replace the capacitor then. 😉

OK, thankyou. Does it matter which connectors go where, is there a plus and minus? I cant see anything on the faulty one.
