The dryer neon should be off whenever the motor reverses, it should not be on all the time.I wonder if net 0159 has made this observation?
Martin
Reading the first post in this thread suggests that the dryer neon is indeed on all the time.net 0159. After you fitted the new thermostats, you would then turn the selector switch to a programme setting, did the dryer neon come on as soon as you did this and before you pressed the ‘start’ button ? If this is the case then the relay on the module is stuck.
Re: Hotpoint TDC60 (changed thermostats)
Yes the drying light was still on when i changed the stats and turned the dial before i pressed start
Also in answer to the other Question that martin posted, of the issue of the light being on ofcourse id observed the that was one of the first things that triggered there was some problem and on my first thread on here made that known.Re: Hotpoint TDC60 (changed thermostats)

Re: Hotpoint TDC60 (changed thermostats)
I have popped back on the forum just to post a reply really for someone to learn who is in my situation with their dryer, as you have read i had changed the thermostats and this hadnt been successful and after your reply that this may be another issue and could be expensive i called hotpoint out, the day before they were due i put the old thermostats back on and noticed that the active light had gone off it was no longer lit but it still was cold air coming out so left it for engineer to look at. When he came he changed the thermostats and it is working!! god knows what happened they were changed correctly when i did them so im baffled and £90 lighter so a reference to any one else maybe try them twice i wished i had..
Re: Hotpoint TDC60 (changed thermostats)
My TDC60 blew the thermostats recently, which I replaced, only to have them blow again.
Ive finally tracked the problem down to the heater relay on the main board (dryness module) which has failed in the ON position.
The result being that the heater is on ALL the time, even when the door is open.
A main board is £86 from hotpoint, however i have sourced the same 16A (Schrack RT314024) relay from farnell (RS also have the similar RTD314024) for £3. You will neet to be handy with a soldering iron though, as this is not a consumable part. It is attached to the dryness module via 8 pins
Not fitted it yet, will update when it arrives.
