This video will help you diagnose fault with Hoover Candy tumble dryers that are not heating, and how to repair them.

Both condenser and vented tumble dryers use very similar heating elements. They usually have one or two thermostat sensors on the front and one or two thermostat sensors on the back. The tumble dryer on this video has two thermostats fitted on the heating element housing located on the back. These are prime candidates when diagnosing no heat faults on tumble dryers.

 

Next there's the heating element itself that can be faulty and should be tested if the thermostats are ok.

On the front you have a thermostat, you should test it for continuity. There is also an NTC sensor and you should test if for resistance (measured in holms).

These are all working fine, so by process of elimination we know that something is wrong with the printed circuit board itself. In this case it turned out to be a switching relay.
