    Hi there

    I am having the same issue and considering I have had Candy out twice because it caught fire, twice…. I beginning to think I should have gone a different make.

    The dryer starts ok, then after 5 mins is turning off and flashing to empty the water chamber in the door but there is no water in it. Really fed up with it to be honest. Anyone got any ideas?

    Hello, my candy condenser dryer isn’t registering that my water tray is empty, after emptying the tray the light keeps coming back on and the dryer stops working, can you help. I have researched and it says the pump maybe blocked but I don’t know where the pump is

    Hi
    I cant find the video on pressure sensor switch test/repair or float indicator switch for hoover tumble dryer (hoover vhc391t-80) there is a pic of you doing it on https://www.how-to-repair.com/help/hoover-candy-tumble-dryer-empty-water-indicator-flashing-runs-for-a-few-seconds-then-stops/

    Dryer has been set up to externally drain not drain to the top reservoir.
