Hotpoint TCL770

[AJC_Dave]

Just fitted a new element to one of these.

I tested it with a couple of wet towels just to make sure it worked and all seemed ok. Had a cup of tea with the customer and just let it run for 15mins. When I took the towels out it had gone cold but the towels were still sopping as I’d wet them under a tap. Gave the inside of the drum a wipe with the towels and it heated up again only to go cold 5 mins later.

I’m assuming its a sensor problem. Can anyone shed some light about where and how the sensor works?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Hotpoint TCL770

Customer just called to say all is fine and the dryer is heating. Got a feeling that it may be short lived as it heated when I tested it at the start then was cold 15 mins later.
Had a look on connect for the sensor and it is out of stock so won’t have one to go back with.
Does anyone know if there’s a known problem with these sensors like the washer dryer NTCs or is there cases of pcb problems related to sensing the the mositure and mass of the load?
Sorry for the amount of questions… I’ve only ever dealt with faults on the older system.
thanks for any help
