Hotpoint fetc70 keeps cutting out

[Leeberry50]

The dryer runs for around 10 minutes then just stops, I have to open the door and close it again and then press start and it then works for about 20 min. I repeat then it will usually run to the end of the cycle 30/40 min.
all filters clean, water is empty, condenser is clean.
any suggestions?

is that on a sensor dry or timed setting

try a timed dry and see what it does then

It doesn’t have sense dry. It’s just a timer

[electrofix]

ok i see i did not look it up and most are electronic these days

yours is a simple unit

first off try another socket it not the first time i have had faulty sockets causing problems like this. if the power get interupted for 2 secs the relay will drop out

if that is ok check the terminal block and supressor where the wire goes in

Thanks Dave, yes it’s just a simple one.

Hi, I have used a different outlet altogether and checked all the connections on the terminal block all are secure and still have same issue. Any other suggestions please

[electrofix]

does it restart right away when it stops ?

Dave

[Leeberry50]

No, I have to open the door, close it then press start

[electrofix]

ok then it does sound like a possible door lock problem

Dave

[Leeberry50]

Ok, do you know the part needed?
