How old is this appliance? I am unable to find a part reference as to what is required, so it can’t be very old. If under 12 months, you should contact Hoover for an under guarantee repair; if it’s passed the guarantee period, spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk should be able to supply a new heater assembly at a reasonable cost.

Power off if you are investigating this yourself.

Thanks very much for your quick reply, penguin :), its around 18 months old, so out of guarantee (of course!! LOL!)
do you think hubby will be able to fix this himself?, or do you think it will need a qualified person to replace it?
