Hi Paul.
Great videos and very clearly presented.
Want to replace belt on my John Lewis JLTDH21 heat pump tumble dryer but not sure on easiest way. After top and sides off, is removal of front or back easiest for getting new belt on? Also missing the pulley tensioner circlip. I can probably find a replacement, but wondered if there’s any bush or spacer that might also be missing (and now inside my hoover)? Does the pulley wheel have quite a bit of float on its shaft?
Many thanks.

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.

Hotpoint FETC70 Tumble Dryer works for so long then screams, then stop and starts. Also if the door is open and I press to start, the same noise appears. Screams from pump area, after so long then intermittently continues. When the door open and timer on so activated but door open and press start it screams equally as the pump

Hi, I’ve got a Hotpoint TVM 570 and I’m having trouble understanding how to replace the belt. I also think I need to replace the bearing kit which is a riveted type it’s making a scraping noise as was rotating but I have now found out that the belt is snapped. Have you got any videos to assist me?

Hi Paul,

First, I have to say I absolutely your videos and they’ve helped me repair my tumble dryer before! I love tinkering at stuff, so that is why I want to repair myself. I would really appreciate your advice: the AEG t76385ah3 tumble dryer stops after exactly 30 minutes. I gave bought a new ntc probe but I am unsure if that is the cause. Diagnostics OK otherwise. Any advice?

Cheers,
Alex

My AEG TR959M6BC heat pump tumble dryer is running but it’s not collecting any water and my clothes aren’t drying properly.

I’ve checked the water tank but it’s empty even after multiple cycles. I cleaned the lint filter and checked the condenser unit but that didn’t help too. What could be causing the dryer not to extract the water?

I recently replaced both motor capacitors on my Hoover DXH9A2TCE80/ condenser tumble dryer but I now have the E13 fault showing after about 5 minutes of operation.

I’m unable to clean the condenser on this Hotpoint NTM1081WK heat pump tumble dryer as it’s sealed into the housing i can see the front part only. the fans inside are very noisy any advice on how to clean these parts without taking the whole thing apart

Hi Paul. I have a serious problem which is my AEG TR718L4B tumble dryer isn’t getting hot enough to dry my clothes properly anymore. The clothes persistently come out damp and it takes much longer than it used to.

I’ve cleaned the lint filter and checked the ventilation but it doesn’t cure. What should I do?

Hi,

Beko DCU7230W condenser tumble dryer was working without any noticeable problems. Turned on to use this weekend and nothing happens – no lights, nothing. Have checked all usual power problems – fuse OK, not tripped etc. There is 240V going into the machine… took the front off and have looked at the PCB. There is a small burn mark on the plastic and the component underneath is blistered on its surface. Not sure if this would cause the problem – or symptomatic. Also not sure if repairable or need to splurge for PCB – very aware that if symptomatic rather than causal I could quickly blow £70 if another PCB then suffers same fate.

Have put a couple of photos and brief video in Dropbox. Link below.

Thank you!!!

Best wishes
