You don’t happen to know the part number for the capacitor? The belt is intact so I may as well try that given its a cheap part.
Re: Hotpoint CTD40P Heater Element Part Number
Ok. I’m now at the stage though where it may be better to cut my losses and invest in a new tumble dryer.
Re: Hotpoint CTD40P Heater Element Part Number
So, I replaced the heater element last night. Tonight, I notice its stopped, so I go through to it and smell a burning smell. It seems to be putting out heat nit the drums not turning.
I’m now thinking about cutting my losses and getting another tumble dryer. Can’t really afford it but hey-ho. I know that vented dryers are more reliable and simpler, however I don’t have anywhere I could put a venting tumble dryer.
Are those condensing kits you get any good? Would it be better to buy a venting tumble dryer and a condensing kit?

Thank you

The drain hole I’m assuming is the small hole at the back in the second picture, just to the right of the plastic bracket?
Thanks for your help.

The sensor is the old type flat sensor and will need to be replaced with the newer type round sensor.
Make sure the mains lead is disconnected when replacing as this sensor is live even if is turned off on the control panel.
Then you need to reseal the hole with the sealant or plumbers mate sealant .
Bob
I presume the sealant you’re referring to is the clump in the first picture in the top left around where all the cables come into the cabinet?
Re: Diplomat APM6855 leaking water
OK, I’ve taken the back panels off the freezer. Can anyone see anything visually that’s wrong. I presume the second picture shows the defrost heater? I’m guessing I’ll need to test this with a multimeter?

I live in the KY2 postcode area, just north of Edinburgh.
Re: Diplomat APM6855 leaking water
I presume this isn’t something I can sort myself? As this is an integrated fridge/freezer, will it need to be removed to repair?
Re: Diplomat APM6855 leaking water
Update.
My freezer has started to ice up again and drip water onto the floor. So if I do a 3-4 day defrost, it appears ok for the next couple of months. However an ice sheet is building up in the bottom of the freezer.
Does this freezer have a drain plug? Could it be the door seal?
Re: Diplomat APM6855 leaking water
Ok, thanks. Thankfully I have a spare fridge/freezer so have moved everything to that. I think I made the mistake of only leaving it to defrost for a day when I did it a couple of months ago.
