Great! So I could just get one of these and my issue would be solved?!
Water Pump Condenser Unit for Hotpoint Tumble Dryers https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GYRCFF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Fus7EbS229B97

I think I have the same issue.
Same dryer and started intermittently a month or so ago fairly quietly. Gradually got louder each time and The noise lasted longer.
it now sounds like someone is drilling the wall.

Re: Stoves Range cooker help – possible over heating

So I replaced the resistors and its all working again now 😀 😀 8)

Thanks for all your help Dave

Re: Stoves Range cooker help – possible over heating

Just checked the resistance and they’re defo shot!
I was getting readings anywhere from 0.324M to 0.640M and also 1.5M.

I broke the cement away and the resistor seems to have burnt out (best way to describe it).

I bridged the resistor on each fan very briefly and they worked so the fans are fine.

I’ll order 2 of these https://www.espares.co.uk/product/es660 … r-resistor and hopefullyit should all work again!

Cheers

Re: Stoves Range cooker help – possible over heating

Ok I’ll try that shortly.

Is it possible to remove the resistor and bypass it by connecting the live straight to the fan just to see if it’s working?

Should the resistor not measure to be 680ohms I’ll need a replacement. I’ve looked around on various sites and can’t find one at 11W680Ohms. There’s an 11W100 widely available though. Any ideas on where to find one?

Thanks again

Re: Stoves Range cooker help – possible over heating

Hi,

Thanks, I found it behind the secondary oven just near to the mains input terminal.
There was one PCB hanging loosley from the wires, and another original one attached to the cooker! So they’d obviously had this issue before!

I got hold of a part from a stockist nearby and fit it but unfortunatley its not worked!

I got a voltmeter out and did a few tests. When oven was off all connecters on the PCB were giving off some residual voltage. When oven was selected on inputs were showing voltage as was the output, as expected as power was been sent to the fans.

Up at the fan (see pic) green dot wire had voltage (This comes from the Output so I assume its switch live). Blue (direct from the live mains input) had voltage but red didn’t. Could the white block (resisitor?) have failed perhaps?

This is the new PCB. Swapped wires like for like.

Could the fans have both died!? Seems unlikely?

Thanks again

Ben

try the cooker while its out and this fan should run. it should also continue to run for some time after the oven is switched off

if fan looks ok most likely problem is the board that controls the fan

cant promise obviously but they do go

Hi Dave

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve done as you suggested and neither of the fans are running. Both on the fan oven side and conventional side. The fan on the fan oven side is rather dirty.

So I presume the pcb board has gone. Is their one needed for each fan?
Where will I find this part within the oven?

Thanks
