Hoover Vented Tumble Dryer VHV781C-80 No Heat
Hi, Thank you for your guide, I have been through the various steps of the guide, but to say I am a little puzzled is an understatement. I tested all thermostats and had continuity over all of them. I tested the heater, (i think correctly) plus (by mistake) I managed to put my fingers on the heater element and got an electric shock (oh dear!) so I know I have power to the heater assembly. I just cant seem to find a reason for it not heating. On the PCB board, I noticed the relay you change in your board was slightly discoloured (looks like heat damage) and I could notice a spark from inside the relay after a couple of moments of operation.
Does this sound like a relay failure? If every other sensor is good? We had a power failure (unsure why, could have been overload, blew a 13A fuse, the dryer and washing machine are on the circuit) but washing machine is fine.
I can obviously get the part number off the relay if needed and solder the item, if this is the problem, where is the best place to get them?
Thanks,
Rob.
