Tumble dryer I have a problem with my Hoover condenser dryer, it has been working efficiently for over 5 years but has now doesnt work properly. When i press the on button, a buzzer sounds and then when i release the button it stops. If i hold the button down for a long time then the alarm starts and the machine works as normal! can any one suggest any helpful advise? My husband and i have cleaned it thoroughly and it stills causes problems.

I've had the same problem and bought a relay, as suggested. It cost me under £20 and took me minutes to fix. Saved me hundreds on a new tumble dryer. And whats amazing, is that I'm a housewife with no tech knowledge. So Thanks.

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

Hoover tumble dryer tripping switch

If it's working for a while then shutting off, sounds like thermal overload.
I'd recommend replacing the heating element depending on the age of the dryer.
It could also be:

The cable or plug
The interference suppressor
The main drum motor or fan motor
The control panel
The motor starter capacitor
An issue with the wiring, e.g. the wires are worn or melted

Hoover dynamic next tumble dryer beeping, stopping, starting, condensation on the glass. Still getting hot

It sounds like your tumble dryer may be experiencing some kind of issue with its sensor system or control board. The beeping and stopping and starting could indicate a problem with the sensors that detect moisture levels in the dryer, which can cause the machine to think that the clothes are dry when they are not. This can also cause the condensation to build up on the glass.
Another possibility is a problem with the control board, which can cause the dryer to behave erratically or stop functioning properly. If you have already cleaned out the lint and checked all of the mechanical parts, it may be time to call a professional repair service to diagnose and fix the issue. They will have the tools and expertise to identify the root cause of the problem and repair or replace any damaged parts.

Hoover Vision HD VHC381 Condenser Dryer. Why does it stop after 5 to 10 seconds?

Edited question for clarity. Re-catorgized to Hoover Dryers

This is a condenser dryer so the parts are not the same. Normally it would be one of the three sensors for temperature control. This only has one sensor, but strangely (for a dryer) it has a pressure switch, and a water valve. My advice is to call for Hoover Service.

There is an exploded view of the parts from the drop down arrow.

Hoover tumble dryer infinity vison hd condenser keeps tripping after about 3 seconds only had it 6mths? tried fuses, all filters clear and empty.

have you cleaned the condenser down at the bottom of the dryer and pull it out and put hose through it and look in where you have taking it out and make sure its clean and take off back off the machine and see if the element is wet leave it to dry out and if that doesnt help check if the water is going in the tank or your pump could be faulty

Hoover Maxi 6 TC50 Tumble Dryer making squealing noise

Have you fixed this problem? I also have a Hoover condenser dryer, only a few months old, and has started to make a squeal/whistle. I'm thinking it might be the front fan needing some WD40, OR too much water vapour around the belt that moves the drum causing the sounds.

If it's the fan, lubricating the shaft and its components should fix the problem, if a wet fan then I'd think maybe fully cleaning the condenser filter, reservoir ect will fix the problem.

The problem seems to go away though "mostly" 15 or so minutes after you start the dryer, so that makes me think ones it gets warm something is expanding to allow more "give" so maybe the belt.

My Hoover TC650 condensor dryer has a fault. When turned on it makes a noise (buzz) but the drum does not revolve. If I turn it by hand and then quickly close the door and press the button it will...

i saw your question and never worked on a hoover dryer so i checked it out go here to see video
https://www.how-to-repair.com/help/hoover-candy-tumble-dryer-drum-not-turning-and-belt-ok-faulty-capacitor/
i have to tell you on all the dryers i've ever worked on they never had a cap in them,only washers,on a dryer that isn't a condenser dryer if you get the dreaded buzzing sound and start it like you did,open the door,hold in the door switch and spin the drum with your other hand while someone else pushes in the start button and it would start it would be the motor,i've seen a condenser dryer and the problem always was with the filter,people that had just bought one didn't know you had to clean out the filter box,never took one apart,i saw that nobody answered you so i hope this video helps you out and i learned that condenser dryers have a cap in them.
