Dave
Cooling fan intermitted and wanted to see the set up before going to job so I could take some useful parts with me.

This is complete nonsense – how can a bit of fluff on the bearing create a burning smell? The smell will have been due to a bit of disturbed dust having got blown onto the heater during the next cycle – an inevitable temporary by-product of clearing loose dust from airways.
As for grease, this may no longer be considered necessary on current Hotpoint dryers, but perhaps if they did use it, the pathetic undersized bearings and shafts they use might just last a little longer. Hotpoint still list their bearing grease C00250321 as a part for virtually all pre-2005 Hotpoint dryers. I still use a tube of this that I bought in 2005.
Yes completely agree with you, I was asked to replace the belt, but as you know when you open up these condenser dryers there is always all the muck to clean away or the machine will not work properly, So this is what I did, only to put altogether and found ” No Heat” so off with the cover and managed to reset the trip, Put together again and tested running for 10 minutes. because of the state of it never been service/cleaned before and the heater not working it accumulated some fluff around the heater so cleaned as much of it as I could only for the rest to be burnt off when running. Customer did phone me and I offered to go back and look at it, But in her wisdom she decided ” Oh this dryer is one of the faulty Hotpoints” maybe I will get a new one out of this, and contacted Hotpoint, who must have panicked and sent a engineer out very next day. The tiny amount of grease I used on the teardrop as you said would never cause any problem. Thanks for your response.

Never mind, you’ve learned a useful lesson and reminded us all of it.

Re: People who don,nt want to pay
Thanks lads will keep my chin up and soldier on 🙂
An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter checks his lists and says Ah; you’re an engineer — you’re in the wrong place.
So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon the engineer gets dissatisfied with the dismal level of comfort in hell so he begins designing some improvements. He uses the fires of hell to generate electricity. He uses the electricity to manufacture things.After a while they’ve got air conditioning and manufacturing plants. There he makes flush toilets and escalators. He wires hell with phones.
Needless to say the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer “So how’s it going down there in hell?”
Satan replies Hey things are going great! Couldn’t be better. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators and there’s no telling what the engineer is going to come up with next.
God replies “What? You’ve got an engineer? There’s been a mistake — he should never have gone down there; send him up here immediately.”
Satan says No way. I like having an engineer on the staff and I’m keeping him.
God says “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs uproariously and answers “Yeah! Right! And just where are you going to get a lawyer?
