The stop button will not stay and makes a buzzing
This sounds just like you have a bad door switch. You check it by taking the two wires off of it and taping them together. Then try the dryer. It should take off and run normally. If so, replace door switch. Good luck.
Where is the belt?
Looks like you have a front load dryer.
The belt can be seen from under the dryer...but the best way to see the belt is to remove the front of the dryer. This will expose the drum with the belt around it.
Just pumping out cold air
There is no fuse...
Sounds like it could be your thermostats and or your heating element that needs replacement
Dryer stuck in sensing mode
Since no help was available without premium assistance, I actually contacted a repairman. He performed all the tests again and told me the problem was the control board. Then wanted $600 to fix. I found the part online for $150 and fixed it myself in about an hour. Instructions were easy.
Dryer will not start
If it isn't the motor starter capcitor could be a winding burned in the motor. I would replace both together and be done with it.
Dryer not heating Enough
Ceck the vent hose and vent. Make sure these are clear of obstruction. This is tipical of poor venting. The dryer can`t remove the moist air to dry the clothes properly.
High pitched noise
HI
Step 1: Remove the back access panel. Then reach behind the drum, motor pulley, and idler arm pulley. If these areas are clogged with dirt and lint, undue strain on the motor may be causing the humming noise. Worn or broken belts can also cause a humming noise. Check the belts for wear and damage. If the belts look all right, you may be able to stop the noise by spraying them with fan belt dressing, available at automotive and hardware stores and home centers.
Step 2: Turn the dryer on. The noise you hear may be the whirl of the spinning drum, not the motor. Some noise is normal.
Step 3: Force a little 20-weight nondetergent motor oil (not all-purpose oil) around the ends of the motor shaft. This lubrication may stop the humming noise. If this doesn't solve the problem, remove the motor and take it to a professional service person.
The centrifugal switch on the dryer motor may be located on top of the motor. Humming, no motor power, and no heat can be caused by a faulty centrifugal switch. If the switch is externally mounted, check the terminals of the switch to make sure they are tight and not burned. If you spot trouble, remove the switch and take it to a professional service person for testing. A faulty switch will probably have to be replaced. Some centrifugal switches are located inside the motor housing; you won't be able to remove the switch in this case. Remove the entire motor and take it to a professional for repairs.

this could be the thermostat has gone but most likeley its the copasitator that makes the machine start and stop and change directions if the machine runs and cannot change directions this will cause the thermostat to glow red WARNING THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE

take the top off. there should be a small relay board to the right just behind the fascia. the fault probably lies in that board - relay not holding in
Drum will not turn?
the motor will most likely be ok, its the capacitor on the motor that normally blows,( the white/grey cylinder with 2/4 wires coming off it, about 3 inches long bolted to the motor its self. can be purchased separtely in eletronic spares shops. all u need is the (uF) number on the original part.

I think you may have a bad relay on the motor, where power is re-applied after the push start is released
Dryer will not heat up
heater has a built in micro temp which are usually the problem on hoover t/dryers..if not technical minded then your best replacing the heater as the micro temp is solderd into the heater wiring
Hoover Condensing dryer malfunction
Hi Mike,
The motor probably has experienced locked rotor current and fried the windings. Of course the capacitor could have shorted. If you can find it, look at the capacitor and if the can looks like it's lid is swollen or pooched out, then go for replacing the Capacitor. If you remove the motor and smell the case and it smells burned, you motor is shot. It does not have to lock down to be bad. The windings do not rotate in an AC motor.
