I have Candy GCC 590NB-80 Tumble Dryer. Fairly sure that the Capacitor requires replacing but can’t find anywhere on this page to search for a replacement. Link on front page doesn’t show any capacitors.

My Hoover VHC 691B tumble dryer stopped working, it was totally dead, with no functionality or lights working. Checking the circuit board I could see the chip had broken apart (I’m guessing it overheated and exploded because the water tray and fluff tray were both full), so I replaced the circuit board. However when I then tested it the tumble dryer stopped and beeped when I put it on a sensor programme and if I tried it on a timed programme it went straight to the spin cycle bypassing the heat part of the programme (the heat light didn’t light up and the spin one did). I ended up buying a new heater complete with new thermostats however the tumble dryer is still showing the same symptoms. What else could the fault be? I was thinking maybe the NTC sensor is broken however I’ve tested it with a multimeter and it’s showing an Ohms reading on the 200k and 2M setting but nothing on the lower Ohms settings. I can’t seem to locate any other thermostats in the tumble dryer apart from the two on the heater that were replaced with the heater. I also can’t locate a thermal cut out switch, to see if this needs resetting.
Many thanks.

Hello. My mum tells me her dryer is doing the following.
– Runs for approx 60 minutes then stops and the empty water light turns ON.
– Check of the water tank finds there’s not a lot of water in it.
– Emptied water tank.
– Dryer won’t restart after 5, 10 and 15 minues have passed but will start after 20-30 minutes has elapsed since stopping.
– Dryer then stops again after approx 60 minutes with empty water light ON.
– The above repeats.
– The dryer is heating up, turning and changing direction.
– There are no other lights on except the empty water when the dryer stops.
It appears the dryer is cutting out and with it being able to restart after 20-30 minutes perhaps though this was the thermal control cut out but the empty water light is a question mark given the water tank is no where near full – to quote my mum ‘there’s hardly any water in the tank when it stops’.
I’ve watched your excellent video about servicing a Hoover dryer and hope you’ll point me in the right direction before I buy the parts to fix it. I see Hoover supply pressure switches, NTC’s and heater but not the thermostats (that I could find in the spares list).
Any advice about possible cause and parts would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

As soon as you put the tumble dryer on for a cycle it runs for 10 seconds and dont get hot then starts beeping and flashing

Hi there,
My condenser dryer runs for a few minutes then stops with all all LEDs flashing with a beeping sound. Ive watched your video on how to fault find and it appears that I have no continuity over one of the thermostats at the rear. Please can you advise on this so I can be sure I purchase the right replacement part from you.
Many thanks
Tim
