Hotpoint Dryers - Page 9 - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

I have responded to this in a later post. Hope it helps.

Error code F09 means that that the Eeprom is not programmed or is not functioning.

Could be a worn belt, or a motor part needs oil, or friction with armature (sp).

I experienced the problem with a hotpoint TCYM 750, with the red empty water light failing to switch off. After removing the filter and cleaning it, cleaning the condenser and drying anywhere I had access to the machine still didn't heat and the light remained on. Reading the post about the machine having 3 reservoirs it struck me that one of the reservoirs may be hard to access. So I unplugged the machine and tipped it onto its front. The reservoir drained, I pushed the machine back upright and cleared up some water around the condenser. The drier now works properly and the empty water light is off - job done!

IF you checked the belt and there is no apparent ware; then only bearings will give off a soot when they are going bad. If the idler bearing is misaligned, it too can cause this to happen.

Check belt.

Long Dry times tend to be caused by improper exhaust venting normal ventng should be 8 to 10 feet long max should be flexible aluminum or solid metal venting if length is longer than 10 ft solid metal venting is a must ! White Vinyl is absolutley NOT advised ! ! make sure venting is as short as possble with no kinks or crushed areas and also you have good air flow out of dryer exhast outlet before connecting venting after connecting make sure you have good air flow at outside of home.........good luck !

Not exactly the Model you were looking for but should be close enough to help:

Replace termofuse normally white in color with wire feeds at both ends 1 " long or so This happens mostly when exhaust pipe is blocked clear pipe and filters

Sounds as if the motor is going bad. Soon it will simply buzz and won't start at all. It's the motor windings and the only solution is to change out the motor.

could be that the start switch is broken and not working the right way.

sounds like its blocked with fluff somewhere and your element could be wet take off the back and check your element and if water around it you need to compleatly clean out your filters and down where the condenser is then leave it for a day or two to compleatly dry the element

hi make sure heater element is not touching back of dryer causing a short or break on wire catching casing

It looks like from what you are saying that the heat sensing thermostat has stuck in the on position and is not switching off when up to temperature! I would obviously advise you not to use it because There is a serious risk of fire! The thermostat is most likely mounted on the rear or top of the drum inside it is not an hard job to replace it, but I would advise you replace with exactly the same part and get a competent person to do the repair for you. If you decide to repair it yourself first make sure it is disconnected from the mains supply and cannot be plugged in while you work on it! You can perhaps find the part number in the user manual , but failing that remove the part and take to an appliance repair shop for advice The following link may be of help in identifying the part and may also stock your part? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THERMOSTAT-CUT-OUT-HOTPOINT-CREDA-INDESIT-TUMBLE-DRYER-KIT-RED-SPOT-/161012863189?pt=UK_Irons_Presses&hash=item257d1d50d5 I hope this was of some help?

Are we talking tumble dryers here as it's been posted under the 'washing machine' section? Anyway all depending on what type of dryer you have, normal vented one (with outlet hose that you stick out of the window) or a condenser dryer? Get back to me I may be able to help you with this ok, cheers, Ken.

element and or thermostats cheers

Filter at bottom of machine needs pulling out and cleaned on a regular basis. This is a common fault and the lights is telling you to clean the filter. It is a large filter that unclips at the bottom front of machine. Remove two small screws from the front of the filter located left and right and gently remove the front plate. Once removed you will see a metal filter clogged with clothing debris. Clean with cotton buds and a damp cloth till clean. replace all parts and you should have it working once again with a good heat source as well. Every 2-3 months is sufficient to keep it cleaned. Hope this helps.
