Does my Hotpoint tumble dryer need spares or any Hotpoint tumble dryer spare parts
Engineers repair comments.
On vistiting the Hotpoint TC71 dryer i had to determine if the Hotpoint tumble dryer needed spares or spare parts. I set the cycle running, the machine started all seemed fine so i let it run for 2 mins then opened the hotpoint tumble dryer door to see if it was hot, But the temperature inside the tumble dryer drum was cold. i unpluged the Hotpoint tumble dryer then using my multi meter i tested the heater heating element, that tested ok, i then tested the two thermostats on top of the heating element casing, one of them had no circuit through it, i had found the problem. i removed the old thermostats and replaced them with a new Hotpoint tumble dryer thermostat kit 1701583 ( shown in image ) tested the tumble dryer and all tested ok, problem solved.

tumble dryer model CTDOOP not heating
Diagnose On testing tumble dryer found that drum was turning but no heat was being produced and that air flow though dryer was very poor
Repair Checked the supply voltage to the heater and thermostats which was ok, tested the continuity of the heater and thermostats and found that one thermostat was o/c (open circuit) fitted new thermostat kit (its advisable to replace the thermostats as pair), also checked the filter and found this to be in need of cleaning which can be a cause of thermostat or heater failure
Test Re-assemble dryer and check with a smal load of clothing in, heating and tumbling ok with a good air flow
