Hotpoint T/D CTD85 tripping

[maltheviking]

Just over one year old . Condenser dryer triping RCD’s. On inspection there was a lot of condensation in the heater duct. Dryed it out and brought insulation back to safety levels and it worked fine for two hours, now triping again. I have cleaned out the condenser/filters and ducts, all seals seem fine.

Any Clues? chaps and chapesses? 😕

check the heater part no to see if there is a mod I seem to remember a new back panel in a kit this might be somthing to do with it . partfinder might help (mind you theres lots missing on that and we seem to find more errors on it every day) good luck

Did change the heater on one for this fault, came complete with new back panel.

Also cleared some gunge from the small drain channelthat runs into the sump at the back. Intermittant pump operation could also be a cause.

PS. Although you got it correct in your thread title ‘tripping’ I think you are nearer the truth in your post when you spell it triping an apt description of the quality of a lot of current machines. 😆

just had a thought I once had a whiteknight did this turned out that it was running in reverse. I dont know off hand the correct direction for this machine but a wiring check might be in order

sorry about the delay but you know how things suddenly click!!!

This machine has two way/reverse tumble action.

Re: Hotpoint T/D CTD85 tripping

yes but unless Im mistaken ( havnt got the manual ) the reverse is no heat short run anti tangle it is on the whiteknight someone will put me right no doubt but it was worth looking at timer and capacitor connection
if only to set your mind at rest

Ah, I see what you are getting at, unless someone has been fiddling I wouldn’t think that is the case here, its a fairly new machine.
