Hotpoint Condenser tumble dryer Aquarius TCHL73 7kg Water tray not collecting water
The water drawer has barely any water in it when I use the dryer, there is water coming out from below a sponge at the bottom at the back. I live in Kearsley, Bolton so wondered if I could get the part to fix it from you as I know you're local and have found you via YouTube. I emailed yesterday and called several times but the line is constantly engaged.Kind regards,Melissa

I will try and help with your Hotpoint condenser tumble dryer tchl73 problem
I have had this problem on these tumble dryers on several occasions, the first thing you need to do is make sure that the machine is level not just forwards and backwards also from left to right, the water as you can see in the exploded diagram below is collected in the pump chamber this is then transferred by the pump to the collection tray at the top of the machine,
if you have a restriction in airflow in any of the ducting systems, Water could collect in this area and leak through the bottom of the machine, I have also had problems with these machines where the plastic base of the machine has been cracked accidentally and of course water will leak from this area. also, check to two fan blades

Common Hotpoint Condenser tumble dryer Aquarius TCHL73 faults with links to the right repair guide
I have included a lot of videos in the links below on these tumble dryers to assist you in repairing your tumble dryer; I have also included an exploded diagram of your machine with all the parts that you need listed below that just click on the relevant and it will take you to a search result
- No heat
This is the most common fault on tumble dryers.
Vented dryers: this can be a fault with the thermostats, heater, or on some occasions, it might be the timer or the relay on the printed circuit board.
Condensor dryers: this might be any of the above but you also have a condenser plate that collects the water and then is either pumped to the collection tray or flows into a tank. Check pump unit and float switches.
Heat pump dryers: these are much more complicated they use a refrigeration prosses to heat the cloths and use the cooling side to condense the water for collection. Check compressor is running, check NTC sensors and check filters, and also that it has the right amount of refrigeration gas (normally only done by an engineer)
- Drum not turning
This will stop the dryer from drying. You may have to replace a faulty belt or in other cases, look at the motor, motor capacitor, or the jockey wheels. Again there are relays on printed circuit board types that can go faulty.
- Not starting
Whilst, not a common problem, you may have a faulty door switch, starter relay if fitted, or can be start button or PCB.
- Noisy Machine
This is usually caused by faulty bearings, jockey wheels or worn felt pads. The motor can get dust build up in the bearings, also the fan blades can distort in shape and make noise rubbing the housing.
- Water leaks.
This can be a simple as the water tank (in a condenser tumble dryer) has not been emptied, or not placed back into the housing correctly. The condenser plate can need cleaning. The pump unit might not be working. Or the ducting system can be clogged with fluff etc. See servicing tumble dryer.
- Tumble dryer reports a fault code or error code.
Error codes can be on the display or given in certain lights flashing sequences. Tumble dryer fault codes are not universal but may only point you or an engineer in the right direction they are not 100% accurate they are only that for guidance. Your owner’s manual may help you identify the problem and even suggest a fix. In other cases, you’ll need an engineer to trace the fault. Don’t be tempted to ignore a fault code, even if the dryer seems to be functioning normally. Some codes are ‘early warning signs’ and fixing the machine at an early stage could save you time and money in the long run.Contact us with the full model number and detailed description
