that sounds like the bushers have gone on your motor how old is your appliance
The front felt came out when machine was on I tried to refit it but kept falling out so I ordered a new one and thought I could just stick the new one into the groove I managed to get it in but quite sticky n when I switched it on it wouldn’t turn so I took it out again and it’s working but I’m worried that I’m doing damage to the dryer. It’s a candy gbc590 condensor five years old.
Hi i have a Hoover HD vision 8kg condenser Tumble dryer it makes a real loud bang and with it a sort of electrical burning smell,i can turn it off and restart it and it will produce some heat for a short time and then it will repeat the loud bang and smell,i cannot find anything on the internet that explains or matches my problem,i have of course now left the dryer off till i can find a solution as i fear a risk of fire,the bang is very loud scary even.
Best Regards Terry!

Hi very good video’s, i was watching your video on candy dryer regarding testing of element, which had me confused as i had to go over and over it again and again just to make sure that i was right in saying that you made a mistake about the wires when testing for continuity. would luv to hear back from you , thanks.

How do i repair an error e15 code on a candy condenser tumble dryer??
Candy CC2 77T shows message “OF” and refuses to start. What does message “OF” mean please?
Hi great videos – I have a Hoover condensor dryer (DNC D813B) with the water reservoir hung on the inside of the door. Water is not being pumped to the reservoir so I get the ‘water full’ warning light and the dryer stops. I’m confident enough following your strip down procedure but what should I check once its all apart? I’m guessing the problem could be the water level pressure switch but could also be the pump? I dont want to change both as they are quite expensive! Many thanks, Dave
Hi My wifes Hoover vision condensing dryer starts off ok but someway through the program it stops and doesn’t start again there isn’t a error code, she then switch off and tries to restart sometime it will start again (not always) she say that the start switch makes a klunking sound but eventually it makes the correct sound and starts? can you suggest what may be the problem.

Hi my candy grand vita condenser dryer isn’t drying properly and keeps flashing e15 code ?
I have a Candy tumble dryer GCC580NC-80. al the warning lights are flashing, when the fault occurred on the machine the clothes where not heated when the came out of the machine. Could this be the heating element not working or would this not neat up due to another fault.
hi have error E22 coming up on my Hover DX C 10DE-80 tumble dryer.
What spare part do i need to repair it?
Hi Paul and crew,
I used your vid to diagnose the E15 code on my Hoover VTC 791NB dryer and bought a new heating element from you and fitted it ok. The broken one had no continuity across one of the thermostats on the element and in fact the element board was split/cracked inside.
I fitted the new element and reassembled but the machine is now showing Error code 4. No hour/minute lights appear in the screen, after pressing the start button it does a double beep , the drum starts to turn for a few seconds, then it stops, beeps for a few seconds with lights flashing, and E4 appears. I am a bit daunted by the next stage of investigation of the program switch/ control module being a DIY guy. Actually I couldn’t find an appropriate video.
I did take photos of the circuit board connections when I took it off and all was replaced ok. My strip down did not include taking the drum out. I followed Paul’s vid just so I could get my hand in from the front to release the heater element clip – so front / door assembly off. I also tested the ntc sensor which is ok and reconnected the door switch electrics ok. Looking back, I did not need to take off the switch panel.
Can you advise on a way forward please? I would be happy to send you the circuit board/ switch module for testing.
Regards,
Chris Beckley
