Re: Hoover HSW 150M overheating
Thanks to everyone for their help, I think Penguin45 has hit the nail on the head!
Removed the back panel and the small right angled hose and proceeded to remove a 4″ slug of goo 😯
Have cleaned the rest on the condenser piping and the first tumble test worked. Didn’t cut out after a few mins.
No doubt it’ll be fully tested over the next few days, so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for everyones help. Keep up the good work.
Cheers.

Thanks Penguin45, will have a final clearout tomorrow & look at what you’ve suggested.
If all else fails, is Methley (nr Rothwell) too far for your services?
Re: Hoover HSW 150M overheating
Hi Iadom, thanks for your reply, I’m not sure the front stat is faulty?
While the machine was within warranty it did a similar thing and it was the fan that had stuck/slipped off the bolt, engineer came and re-tightened the fan, put some locktite on has been fine (on the few occasions that we’ve needed a dryer) since.
It’s Sod’s law that when the weather turns, that it packs up and I’ve got a 2yr old and a 4yr old that need clothes like nothing else!!!
The fan still turns freely, so I’m only guessing that it’s overheating – and it is getting very hot!!! – because of the thermostat, not regulating the element, surely the stat is doing it’s job by cutting out?

Thanks again Dave, any suggestions/recommendations in the Leeds area?
Re: Hoover HSW 150M overheating
Cheers Dave but it’s all been taken apart and is clear.
The main worry I have is that when the tumble dryer is turned off by the main dial and not the dryer dial, the fan stops but the element doesn’t!!!
I’ve had the voltage checked and using the on/off button & the dryer dial and it cuts off correctly, which wouldn’t explain why after a normal run it starts blowing cold air, unless it’s a thermostat problem.
Does that sound about right?
