Re: Hoover VHC681B stops with all lights flashing constantly
Tried a ruler, even tried jet wash, not much coming out apart from water. However the condenser looks warped. Especially at the back it looks like its melted.

Thanks for the help. Think it might be time to get a new dryer! I’ve noticed that the rear cover assembly has a lot of moisture inside it when I remove it after it has been running.
Re: Hoover VHC681B stops with all lights flashing constantly
I bought genuine parts from Hoover direct. Although I put in the model number and it listed the compatible parts.
The sensor was a genuine part https://hooverspares.co.uk/product/40003258/Sensor+Assembly
Now I look at the heater it does look slightly different to the original one. The original 40004314 4 wires is exactly like https://hooverspares.co.uk/product/40004314/2100+Watt+Tumble+Dryer+Heating+Element
but the new one I’ve got is https://hooverspares.co.uk/product/40006990/Heater. I thought it was just an updated version seeing as the website said it was compatible.
It doesn’t mention the wattage though.
So have I purchased the wrong item?
Re: Hoover VHC681B stops with all lights flashing constantly
Hi I checked continuity which was OK on old and new heater. Although the old one looked like the elements hard warped. I didn’t realise there was another ntc under the drum at the back. So I have just replaced that with a new one. Whilst the drum was off I gave everything a good hoover out and checked all wires were secured properly. The drum rotates. It’s just the rear gets really hot and the glass door feels too hot no matter if I put if on a 30 minute cycle or a automatic setting like iron dry or wool finish.
So NTC on front replaced, NTC under drum at back replaced. Heating element including sensors replaced.
Would the PCB be causing the overheating?
Re: Hoover VHC681B stops with all lights flashing constantly
Hi thanks. I checked the heater, thermostat and ntc which seemed faulty. I bought and replaced all of these with brand new parts. However it still shuts down like before. The biggest difference is that the heater cover backplate is very hot and the glass door is very hot. If there is only the PCB to check what can I do to test?
