Hotpoint nvlr333evoww runs but clothes will not dry

Most likely to be either that the capacitor is defective which starts the motor slowly at first and then picks up speed or the drive belt is worn, usually this happens when the drum has clothes in it otherwise it looks as if it is operating normally

hi thermostat are just above heater under steel cover on back

hi check heater on back see if it looks damaged if not more than likley thermostats just above

I worked on one of these not long ago that was tearing up clothes.. Took some pix

I would say take a look at your element for breaks.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

your element has burnt in half where the sparks are coming from is the end of the element touching the metal. You need the model and serial number go to the nearest appliance parts supplier and get a new element they aren't that hard to replace. Always make sure you disconnect the power source before doing any repairs to the dryer. Good Luck

If you remove the lid you will see the element on top of the drum.
There are a couple of thermal cutouts mounted on it which would be the first thing to check.
Also look for the obvious broken wires etc.
Also can you hear the fan running when machine is in operation?
Hope this helps & thankyou for using Fixya.

my Hotpoint dry will not dry my clothes. It will run for hours and the clothes still haven't dry just felt hot.

yes, the dryer is pants im afraid. weve had ours going on 4 years & it has broke down every 6-10months - seriously! the dryer will leave clothes hot & steamy but when hung up for 1/4hr they r dry! _ Hotpoint advised us that he machine is esigned his way - but dont believe a word from their corporate b***hit mouths!

Set the timer one day, later clothes not warm at all, dryer still running and timer had not moved. It has never heated up again. Can you help me figure out the problem? Where all the heating elements, thermostats etc may be. thank you for your help.

Filter blocked, disconnect hose from under sink connection and drain into bucket. Hotpoint does not want you to change filter, contact Service Engineer.
