The room is unheated but it was hovering around 8-9c when the dryer was on. Also, as the washing was taken straight from our washing machine in to the dryer they wouldn’t have been too dry. I am strongly considering looking for a new manufacturer as I am very disappointed with Electrolux/Zanussie/AEG with my lot so far – any suggestions.
Thanks Jim, do I get some cake with the Zanussi/AEG?Elecrolux models too?? That’s clinched the deal, I’ll get one of those then!
You’re spot on Jim – they tried their ‘ploy’ to get the 12 month warranty for £140 including the £90 for the repair. I’ve been really unimpressed by this dryer. Had all the bells and whistles we’re after (delay start, sensor dry) but it had 2 repairs under the 12 month warranty and now this at 2 years old. I’m looking to just stick it on Ebay as a faulty machine and hope for £20 and just buy a replacement.
Having read through the forums, a vented dryer is the way forward, and sesnor dry is a must. We’re swaying towards AEG/Electrolix/Zanussi from your advice, but what about Hoover? Are they part of a group and would they realistically last? My wife’s seen one she likes. We are a family of 6 and our dryer is on about 10 times a week, so whatever we get will get a battering. I will not spend more than £250, so please don’t try and tempt me with AEG, Meile, ISE please! Also, no need for a condenser this time, we needed it in our last house, but I guess I can core a hole through the utility room wall to ensure lower energy bills and better reliability.
Thanks again for your help on this.
Re: Hotpoint CTD40 Flashing Lights – how do I rectify
Thanks for the reply.
Damn, that’s not good.
Having had a quick look, it’s probably cheaper to get Hotpoint to repair it rather than try and get a PCB and do it myself as it’s only a couple of years old and I’ll just have their call-out charge – anybody any idea how much they want for that?
