Hotpoint tumble dryer
Fault
The tumble-dryer drum turned normally, but the load stayed cold.
- Assessment
- Separate tests of the heater, wiring and thermostats found an open-circuit heater thermostat. The filter and airflow path were also inspected for restrictions that could cause overheating.
- Work
- We fitted the correct thermostat set and cleared lint from the airflow path before reassembly.
- Parts
- Model-matched heater thermostat set.
Checks and outcome
A test load confirmed normal airflow, heat build-up and thermostat cycling. The dryer continued heating without cutting out.
