Hotpoint CTD40 condenser drier.

Hotpoint CTD40 condenser drier.

Fault reported – no heat.
Firstly, found the twin stats over the heater had failed: replaced them but still no heat. Heater OK. Tried linking stat wires (filter check stat above door) but still no heat. 👿
The drier is switched on, the timer set to say, 60 mins, press start. A few seconds pause then the drier starts up, drum turns, all seems normal. Then after about 10 seconds, PCB ‘beeps’; the ‘High Heat’ and ‘Alarm’ LED’s flash continuously and the on/off LED flashes rapidly. Drum turns clockwise only and all buttons have no function. The only way to stop the machine is to unplug it!! 😈
I think the PCB is causing the problem – but when you add the cost to the thermostats and the fact it rumbles like a bl**dy steamroller it doesn’t look good. This machine is not even 2 years old; serves a family of four and is cleaned out regularly – it’s really is quite pathetic.
Does anyone know if Merloni stopped Hotpoint’s free 5 year parts warranty? There is no mention of it in the drier’s user instruction book. 😕 It may be the only economical way to save this machine.

Thanks in advance,

Steve.

The 5yr parts applies to all Hotpoint stuff, there’s never a mention in the manual, but, a sticker, usually on the front or top of the machine.

Re: Hotpoint CTD40 condenser drier.

noise is that it needs conversion from wheels to bearing pads on front ducting, heat problem is prob module and eeprom, if stats have been fitted, i fit complete heater kit as it comes with stats. the early ones of these are poor, slightly better now though. :rolls:
