Thanks to this video I diagnosed the problem with my tumble dryer and managed to dismantle and repair it myself at 31 weeks pregnant! Was a little more fiddly being a condenser dryer but majority of the instructions were the same. Just saved me a whole lot of money thankyou!! It almost went in the skip 😳
Wow! Well done!! I gave up trying to get the bottom plastics off my condenser - and I'm going to just cut a hole on the side to access the area when the replacement comes!
I’d totally given up with fixing mine and then read this comment, cracked on, stopped whinging and now I’ve got a working machine! (Condenser as well, how the hell did you get to the capacitor whilst preggo??😅) Thanks for the motivation!
7yrs on and still assisting in a repair. Just finished repairing my Hoover tumble drier. Almost brought a new one but after watching this video and £6 were all back and working. Gave it a good clean, replaced the belt as a precaution and off we go as new. Thankyou 👍🏻
Unquestionably the BEST instructional video I have ever watched. I bought the capacitor from you and your clear, concise yet detailed instruction made the daunting task of replacing the capacitor possible. Thanks to you I can now add 'major appliance repair' to my completed bucket list. Much love from Israel . . . THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
Thanks to this video I found the cause of my tumble dryer startup problems and I followed the excellent step by step instructions to replace the capacitor which I bought from the how-to-repair eBay store (only £7). Granted it took me a good 4+ hours to do (as I'm a complete novice at white good repairs!) but it did the job at a low cost so I'm happier than the proverbial Larry! Am very grateful to this chap for putting this video up, thank you
I had this problem with my hoover tumble dryer, it would sometimes start ok but when it stopped to reverse I’d just get the electrical humming noise and the drum wouldn’t turn, watched this video which is exactly what mine was doing , ordered a new capacitor online fitted it and it’s like a new machine! Working better than ever! Great work guys very informative videos
Huge thanks for your support mate. I will continue to invest the donations that I receive predominantly into the new video technology that I'm learning with tracking cameras and better audio to make it easier for everyone to understand.
Many thanks for this tutorial. I was told by a tradesman that I'd need a new PCB for my dryer and he quoted silly money for parts and labour. Then I did a search and this was the very first video I came to. 18 minutes later I felt I could fix it myself. An hour later I had ordered a capacitor and 24 hours after that I had the dryer up and running again. Total cost? A whole £14.95 and that included courier delivery! I saved a massive £170.00 off the quoted price. I found the tutorial very easy to follow but I managed to get my hands in the gap and change the capacitor without removing the drum and belt, a tight fit but saved a bit of time and effort.
Echoing a lot of the comments above, your videos have just saved me a fortune. Was quoted £145 to fix it, and following these videos I was able to do it for £8.99. Couldn't be more chuffed. Thank you!
Thank you! Fixed my dryer in less than an hour. Spent more time panicing about electocuting myself on the capacitor than in did to safely change it (no charge in it), put a new belt on at the same time so should be good for a few more years. Saved a call out fee and earned myself some blue points. Another job done! My wife was already eyeing a new dryer online but that money is now safe as well
Excellent video and has saved me from buying a new machine twice for the sake of a €15 part! My dryer 1st went last year and i found this video and gave the drum a push and sure enough it went flying. 9 months later power was on and the buzzing sound but did not kick into life when i pushed it. Was thinking it finally gave up the ghost but thought id change the capacitor. BOOM fired back up. Great detailed instructions top video!
Fantastic! Diagnosed the problem with our Candy 9kg Tumble Dryer - thanks to this video! Ordered the part from your website earlier in the week. Fitted it today and now it’s running better than ever! Thank you!
Thank you for creating this. My dad and I replaced the capacitor in my parents machine with your guidance. We had to access it behind the fan which was awkward bit we did it. The trickiest part was removing the cover of the fan and then replacing it but after some choice words and manipulating we managed it. A huge thank you to all that helped create this video 🙌

Top video, thought our tumble dryer was at the end of its days, thought the motor was going weak, could restart it if I nudged the drum, and before I lugged it outside to bin it, thought I'd just go on RUclips and give it one last chance, stumbled on this video which showed you nudging the drum to get it to turn, £9.99 later, and ifs fixed. Bit of a struggle on a Candy Condensor dryer, serious lack of room to get to the capacitor, and having to remove and replace with one hand, but it's saved me over £200, so was more than worth the fiddling. Nice one

Excellent tutorial as usual from how-to-repair. My issue was with my Hoover Condenser Dryer. I made the school-boy error of replacing the PCB first (based on another YT video) before discovering this one. How-To-Repair will now be my go-to site for all domestic repairs. The Hoover condenser dryer takes several more steps but the principals are the same. The only addition is that you can't remove the bottom of the machine to get to the motor & capacitor so I removed the plastic trim and the fan before slipping the belt off the pulley wheel. This allows you enough space to get two arms down passed the drum to hold the old capacitor whilst undoing the holding nut. Ordered the h-t-r replacement capacitor from their e-bay store. Excellent price and arrived in two days!! Followed the refitting part of the video and the drier now works pefectly. I have a spare PCB if anyone needs one!!
after watching this video, i decided to have a go at my candy condenser. sourced part from Hoover and it took me an hour and a half (mostly looking for tools in the shed). with a condenser machine, I had to prize apart the sides of the case to get at the capacitor and one of the spades on the capacitor was stuck so had to re thread another spade connector onto my cable. all cleaned out and put back together. works a treat now. thanks for the instructions off this video and with a bit of ingenuity, I have a working machine. here's to another 5 years of use.
Really easy to follow and helpful video. Cost me £6.50 for a new capacitor and our dryer is back working now. The hardest part was getting the old capacitor off and the new one on.

Thanks for this, although there was much more dismantling to do on my Hoover dxc9tcg-80 (condenser dryer), I had it done in a few hours. For anyone that's interested Hoover have a support page with a list of required capacitors for each dryers,, certainly saved me taking it apart first before just to check.
I am struggling with my One Touch Tumble Dryer. I’ve got all the panels off bar the lower front panel (around the condenser). Amy tips on how you got yours off?

Update, I replaced the capacitor today , as our hoover tumble dryer has a condenser it was easier to assess , I had a small issue removing thr casing as I had to remove the fan to put it back together again but changed the capacitor and now it is running good as new , will change the belt soon but will be fine for now . Thank you again for this it's been really really helpful!

Thank you for this video! I managed to figure out the issue. The capacitor wasn’t working…. I took apart my tumble dryer, fixed the issue, put it back together and now it works 🙌 thank you .. what would have cost me a fortune ended up costing me just £9 for the capacitor
Excellent video. Mine was the condenser version, so a little bit different, but managed to replace capacitor as detailed here. Spare part was under a tenner. Thanks you! Saved me a major expense in the run-up to Christmas!
How did you get to the capacitor? Mine is a condenser as Well, all I can see is what looks like a gas canister at the bottom. Did you have to remove all the condensing unit at the bottom?
Can I just say, I have the Hoover VisionTech Infinity 9kg condenser dryer & I've had the same issue, sometimes it would just stop mid cycle or fail to start just like you showed in this video. Its not in warranty & asked a few repair services for quotes. I in detail described the issue & they said a £50 call out to double confirm what I've said & then a £120+ fix. I went online & ordered a capacitor for £8 it's been working a dream as of a few weeks ago since I found this video. Added bonus, I gave it a good clean of dust as well. So I have subscribed, liked & I will definitely share this & use as my go to place if you provide such a video. Thank you very much :0)
Did this a while ago after watching this vid, thank you, ours is the Candy gcc591nb, the capacitor is in the same place only a real pain to get to with it being a condenser dryer, got a few scrapes on the arm trying to reach in to loosen the belt tensioner , but it's been going strong ever since, I like to repair my own appliances if possible as most of the time it's something simple and you get more years out of it.

Thanks for this, I've managed to get my tumble dryer working again. A bit more complicated than in the video as mine is the condenser version and there is very little room around the capacitor - but all going now.

Thank you. Your step by step video is so easy to follow 👌 one step I didn't do was take the plastic Housing off that supports the drum front as I could access with it on...thanks again... I'm assuming that all of them scrap people are making easy money on fixing tumble dryers and washing machines that people are leaving out for them to collect
Thanks for this! Ours was having the starting fault intermittently & was generally slow to start. Just managed to change the capacitor, does need a few tools beyond a basic screwdriver to strip down the machine but I had these already, new capacitor fitted & working perfectly, a bit fiddly to access & getting the connectors on & off, but job done for under £20! Interestingly ours takes a 7uF capacitor, I checked the new one on the multimeter and got 7uF exactly, the old one is only reading 2uF!
Really useful video, thank you! Very easy to follow, step by step. If you're considering doing this, don't be put off by what seems like a millions screws to remove, just track which goes where (as he suggests), and keep going. Great that the video even shows the order for putting everything back together again. If you're about to get started, my one top tip would be BUY two capacitors (7uF and 8uF) before you start - they cost about £10 each, and you're going to be saving the cost of a new machine (about £260). I learned that lesson the hard way - I used the model number on the back of my machine to track down the manual online which specified an 8uF capacitor. So you can imagine I wasn't too happy when I opened up the machine to discover a 7uF capacitor in place! Aargh! As I couldn't leave the kitchen a mess and run the rest of losing screws etc, the worse part was having to close up the machine again until the new part arrived, knowing I was going to have to go through the whole process again in another couple of days time! So, I strongly recommend you save yourself the hassle and buy two capacitors upfront! Machine now working beautifully. Thank you again!

however i am a bit scared in trying to replace it as will i get electrocuted and does it have any electrical charge? also i cant see where it is located on my machine its a gvc d101bc-80
Great video but worth noting be careful when undoing the 13mm Capacitor bolt, when I was undoing mine the bolt wasn’t undoing it was in fact the capacitor that was turning which resulted in the two spade connector wires shearing off, it was an easy enough fix but if I did the job again I would follow the drum removal video first, this gives you much easier access to the capacitor and it’s only an extra 10 minutes to remove and refit the drum, also much easier for hoovering all the fluff up.Great videos though saved me buying a new dryer and the part only cost £10.

Hi. Thank you very much for this video have bought the part following your link. I do have a condense dryer.. however i watched another one of your videos on how to access it in a condensed dryer. Very much appreciated !!!

3:43 If one of those torx screws are broken inside the plastic front.... How would you tackle this please? 🤔 The other torx is just not holding, well it did for over a year since changing capacitor, but now the hinge has snapped and want to hofuly do a full repair this time
This video was very helpful! , had to pull mine apart as I couldn't find the correct one online , i was fortunate to have one like this but with the condenser so it was easy to access , just got to wait for my part to arrive now thank you for this video!
Nearly ordered a motor my machine when it’s same as this . (We’ve been putting the weight of washing to one side and it starts it going 😂) Shame I need to take it apart to find out what size it is (mine is one of them that I can’t order a part for 😓) Thanks , this will be second time you’ve fixed my dryer
Great Video, helped me a lot on how to strip this down, mine was new and banging let hell consistent with the rotation of the drum. I found two dents on the drum where the front cover supports the drum rollers, this is exactly where it was damaged from new. was able to knock out the dents and smooth the roler running profile. now its perfect and quiet
Just played this game on a Candy heatpump dryer. However i didnt find the video until after I had took it apart and greased the rear bearing and de-fluffed the drum seal at the front that works as a support. The machine is back working however i think possibly the capacitor is weak hence it could mot overcome the increased resistance of the drum turning due to fluff on the seal perhaps? Does this sould feasible? Seems a strange design with the felt seal. There was some resistance beyond what I would think would be normal. Obviously the clean up of the lint has got it free enough for the capacitor to do its job just
Hello great video, mines the same doesn’t spin so followed your video and taken the old capacitor out mine has 4 pins, only 2 were spades were connected to it, looking online I can find the same 7UF capacitor but only 2 pins, would that still be ok? Its a 7UF 5% as is the one online.
hiya, I have a hoover infinity tumble dryer 8kg, I replaced the heater element in Sept and now as soon as you turn knob to setting it trips the electric, ive taken wires off the element and it do not trip and dryer will start up but after about 5 seconds it trips the electric, any idea please

Hoover dynamic next heat pump dryer has two Capacitors next to each other. One being 15uf and the other 7uf. Any idea what one would be for the motor to move the drum?
Incredibly helpful video, very informative with clear instructions, hopefully the next appliance I have that decides to die on me is covered in one of your videos 🤞🏼
Great video. Our machine is starting to display this fault. I spun the drum, shut the door and switched it on, and it started, but drum did sound a bit noisy when I turned it.
Thanks for this. For what it's worth you may be able to get a phone in and take a picture of the capacitor labelling, if it's oriented in a favourable way, without removing the internal plastic sections. Saves a bit of time on the first bit. Illuminate with a torch and turn flash off. My Hoover VTV 580 NC-80 used a 7 microfarad version btw...
Hi mate I was wondering if you could let me know when I switch the tumble dryer on and push the drum and it begins to rotate the dryer begins to give of a burning smell. Is this burning smell coming from the capacitor do you think? Can you let me know what you think please. Thank you.
Thanks changed mine and repaired it. The capacitor was dead no spark. Mine is a zanussi and it is 35 yrs old!!!! The belt is threadbare but cost of replacement is too great. Never ever broken. Had 3 kids from birth to leaving home. Quality product unheard of today. Drum sounds and feels a little vibratory so bearing prob worn out. Capacitor was £7 so if it lasts 6 months great. Mine was a much easier fix than this indoor 8” square panel 4 bolts straight onto capacitor 2 minute job. Test with panel off and bobs uncle.
Hi, great guide! So as long as its a 7uf tumble dryer capacitor it would be fine? I don't have to worry about any of the vac ratings or anything? Thanks again
I have the condenser version of this dryer, and it was a bit of a pain to get to the capacitor. I still can't get one of the connectors off because I can only reach in one handed (due to the extra plastic bits at the bottom) but I was able to get a picture of the capacitor, and it is a 7uF one. Ordered a replacement and I think I'll just cut a hole in the side with a Dremmel to access it better to replace it.
Of course I can't recommend cutting holes in machines but I do agree with you 100% that access to these capacitors are a nightmare. The manufacturer should have thought about it a bit better on the component that normally goes every 3 to 5 years. @nelftm I would love you to leave your opinion on our poll about manufacturers building in obsolescence to appliances. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxygHomnUySd_bYjaJBdEHPO6T4dYo9Ahm and this is for you ruclips.net/user/shortse432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's is what keeps this channel going.

@@How-to-repair Appreciate what you’re saying, but 2 days ago I was 100% decided to take it to the dump…. so for £11 and a bit of surgical cutting, I'll be more than happy with a patched up working machine!
Mine does this exact same thing with the hum, but it smells of burning at the same time. If I then switch off the machine and move the drum a tad, switch it on again it works fine. Would this be the same issue.
I'm glad I could help. Thank you very much for the donations. This is much appreciated. Please remember to subscribe to the channel as that really does help us
Great video which gave me confidence to start. But when I tried to dismantle my HL V8LCG model (2018), I could not find the way to detach the top of the case after having removed the three screws at the back- it resisted all efforts to slide, left etc. Scared to use brute force because of plastic edging. Help!
Solved. The top has to be slid backwards to disengage with two screws in the body that it is slotted onto. My top was extremely difficult to pull backwards, but eventually could be tilted up and off. Phew!
I have this issue on mine, I always just open it turn the drum by hand and it’ll work okay….but, could this issue also cause my machine to overheat while it’s drying? Because although it’s working (to an extent) it’s definitely overheating and all my clothes come out smelling burnt…..any idea?
Thank you. I was about to give up and found this video! I thought I might be able to use it by manually starting the drum while I wait for the part to arrive but not really. I put a towel in to make sure it would still heat up and it does but its very slow. I guest thats because the motor is not what it what?
I followed this step by step. I ordered a new capacitor but my machine won’t work. I have power to the machine but it doesn’t spin. It doesn’t even make the humming noise anymore. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
I have a Hoover HY10A2TCE-80 heat pump dryer, the motor turns although the drum sticks sometimes but i have the top off to give it a helping hand to start it running, Is this likely to just be a capacitor or in the sticking drum another issue? Thanks
I've stripped all of the necessary parts down to reach the capacitor but am struggling to pull those two wires out, they seem to be stuck quite firmly. Is there another method to taking these off?
Great video, but I have a Hoover VHC 68 Condenser Dryer (the one next to the model you are working on in this video) which seems a bit more complicated to get in to, to sort the Motor, Capacitor & Belt. It would be good and very helpful if you could do a video of how to get access to repair theis model. overall great and informative.

We've just put our new capacitor in our condenser dryer with help from your videos and it spins like a dream. However it doesn't seem to be heating now and coming up with error code E08. Not sure why! Is there anything we could've left unplugged by accident? We didn't unplug the sensor under the door so I know it's not that.
I have this problem with my dryer but when I try to give it the jump start as suggested it doesn't spin, does this mean that it's a different problem or could it still be the compressor? Any advise appropriated thanks

i thought my problem was the drive belt, replaced that (total strip down), put back together and still wouldn't start, just made a hmmmm noise, and would only turn with a little push to start off. Just ordered the Capacitor from your site, got my fingers crossed that this should work. Got a heater on order to as my machine had an e15 error as well and would not heat up.
Thanks a lot as you have helped me in a big way and will be ordering a capacitor from you shortly. Thanks to this film I don’t have to buy a new machine hopefully. I have a question though. When I switch the machine on and then push the drum it goes but there’s a burning smell coming from the machine. Could this still the capacitor? Can anyone let me know please.
Weirdly I tried this and mine still does the same thing and doesn’t spin. A push and it goes. Swapped the capacitor but can’t think for why it wouldn’t work or what now might be the cause. I stuck a continuity meter across the capacitor and got a good reading. Not sure if this would indicate anything wrong with it or not. Any more help would be greatly appreciated
This video saved me buying a new machine! Thanks
Really glad the video helped you thank you very much for donating much appreciated
@@How-to-repair do you have to take it apart to find out exactly which capacitor you need?
Thanks to this video I diagnosed the problem with my tumble dryer and managed to dismantle and repair it myself at 31 weeks pregnant! Was a little more fiddly being a condenser dryer but majority of the instructions were the same. Just saved me a whole lot of money thankyou!! It almost went in the skip 😳
I am doing this repair and also have a condenser dryer so was hopeful it's mostly the same instruction, from your comment I am even more hopeful 😊
I had the same issue Melissa but like you managed to fathom it out.
Wow! Well done!! I gave up trying to get the bottom plastics off my condenser - and I'm going to just cut a hole on the side to access the area when the replacement comes!
I’d totally given up with fixing mine and then read this comment, cracked on, stopped whinging and now I’ve got a working machine! (Condenser as well, how the hell did you get to the capacitor whilst preggo??😅) Thanks for the motivation!

Then I did a search and this was the very first video I came to. 18 minutes later I felt I could fix it myself. An hour later I had ordered a capacitor and 24 hours after that I had the dryer up and running again. Total cost? A whole £14.95 and that included courier delivery!
I saved a massive £170.00 off the quoted price.
I found the tutorial very easy to follow but I managed to get my hands in the gap and change the capacitor without removing the drum and belt, a tight fit but saved a bit of time and effort.
Echoing a lot of the comments above, your videos have just saved me a fortune. Was quoted £145 to fix it, and following these videos I was able to do it for £8.99. Couldn't be more chuffed. Thank you!
Thank you! Fixed my dryer in less than an hour. Spent more time panicing about electocuting myself on the capacitor than in did to safely change it (no charge in it), put a new belt on at the same time so should be good for a few more years. Saved a call out fee and earned myself some blue points. Another job done! My wife was already eyeing a new dryer online but that money is now safe as well
Brilliant!
Thanks so much for this excellent guide. Not my exact model, but your disassembly guide just saved me over €600 for a new dryer.
Excellent video and has saved me from buying a new machine twice for the sake of a €15 part! My dryer 1st went last year and i found this video and gave the drum a push and sure enough it went flying. 9 months later power was on and the buzzing sound but did not kick into life when i pushed it. Was thinking it finally gave up the ghost but thought id change the capacitor. BOOM fired back up. Great detailed instructions top video!
Fantastic! Diagnosed the problem with our Candy 9kg Tumble Dryer - thanks to this video! Ordered the part from your website earlier in the week. Fitted it today and now it’s running better than ever! Thank you!
Thank you for creating this. My dad and I replaced the capacitor in my parents machine with your guidance. We had to access it behind the fan which was awkward bit we did it. The trickiest part was removing the cover of the fan and then replacing it but after some choice words and manipulating we managed it. A huge thank you to all that helped create this video 🙌
This works a treat. Like others have commented it has saved a fortune and a lot more hassle trying to chase a warranty repair. Thank you so much.

Top video, thought our tumble dryer was at the end of its days, thought the motor was going weak, could restart it if I nudged the drum, and before I lugged it outside to bin it, thought I'd just go on RUclips and give it one last chance, stumbled on this video which showed you nudging the drum to get it to turn, £9.99 later, and ifs fixed.
Bit of a struggle on a Candy Condensor dryer, serious lack of room to get to the capacitor, and having to remove and replace with one hand, but it's saved me over £200, so was more than worth the fiddling.
Nice one

Excellent tutorial as usual from how-to-repair. My issue was with my Hoover Condenser Dryer. I made the school-boy error of replacing the PCB first (based on another YT video) before discovering this one. How-To-Repair will now be my go-to site for all domestic repairs. The Hoover condenser dryer takes several more steps but the principals are the same. The only addition is that you can't remove the bottom of the machine to get to the motor & capacitor so I removed the plastic trim and the fan before slipping the belt off the pulley wheel. This allows you enough space to get two arms down passed the drum to hold the old capacitor whilst undoing the holding nut. Ordered the h-t-r replacement capacitor from their e-bay store. Excellent price and arrived in two days!! Followed the refitting part of the video and the drier now works pefectly. I have a spare PCB if anyone needs one!!
after watching this video, i decided to have a go at my candy condenser. sourced part from Hoover and it took me an hour and a half (mostly looking for tools in the shed). with a condenser machine, I had to prize apart the sides of the case to get at the capacitor and one of the spades on the capacitor was stuck so had to re thread another spade connector onto my cable. all cleaned out and put back together. works a treat now. thanks for the instructions off this video and with a bit of ingenuity, I have a working machine. here's to another 5 years of use.
Really easy to follow and helpful video. Cost me £6.50 for a new capacitor and our dryer is back working now. The hardest part was getting the old capacitor off and the new one on.
Massive help saved me a fortune for my candy condenser, just popped the fan and cover off at the bottom to give my fat hands some more room!

Thanks for this, although there was much more dismantling to do on my Hoover dxc9tcg-80 (condenser dryer), I had it done in a few hours.
For anyone that's interested Hoover have a support page with a list of required capacitors for each dryers,, certainly saved me taking it apart first before just to check.
I am struggling with my One Touch Tumble Dryer. I’ve got all the panels off bar the lower front panel (around the condenser). Amy tips on how you got yours off?
Brilliant video. Thank you. Just saved me £140 + . £7 for capacitor and 1 hour of my time. A few swear words but got there in the end 😁😁😁
Just fitted a capacitor to my machine, bought from yourselves on the back of watching this video, great work, thank you so much. 👍
I'm glad I could help you and I'm glad you bought the parts from us remember we do a live show every couple of weeks if you need assistance so make sure you subscribe to be notified
Update, I replaced the capacitor today , as our hoover tumble dryer has a condenser it was easier to assess , I had a small issue removing thr casing as I had to remove the fan to put it back together again but changed the capacitor and now it is running good as new , will change the belt soon but will be fine for now . Thank you again for this it's been really really helpful!
Where was the capacitor located in your condensed dryer please?
Great video. Helped to diagnose the fault and replace the capacitor. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this video!
I managed to figure out the issue. The capacitor wasn’t working…. I took apart my tumble dryer, fixed the issue, put it back together and now it works 🙌 thank you .. what would have cost me a fortune ended up costing me just £9 for the capacitor
Excellent video. Mine was the condenser version, so a little bit different, but managed to replace capacitor as detailed here. Spare part was under a tenner. Thanks you! Saved me a major expense in the run-up to Christmas!
How did you get to the capacitor? Mine is a condenser as
Well, all I can see is what looks like a gas canister at the bottom. Did you have to remove all the condensing unit at the bottom?
Can I just say, I have the Hoover VisionTech Infinity 9kg condenser dryer & I've had the same issue, sometimes it would just stop mid cycle or fail to start just like you showed in this video. Its not in warranty & asked a few repair services for quotes. I in detail described the issue & they said a £50 call out to double confirm what I've said & then a £120+ fix. I went online & ordered a capacitor for £8 it's been working a dream as of a few weeks ago since I found this video. Added bonus, I gave it a good clean of dust as well.
So I have subscribed, liked & I will definitely share this & use as my go to place if you provide such a video.
Thank you very much :0)
Spot on. Simple, straight forward instructions, no messing about. 👍
Did this a while ago after watching this vid, thank you, ours is the Candy gcc591nb, the capacitor is in the same place only a real pain to get to with it being a condenser dryer, got a few scrapes on the arm trying to reach in to loosen the belt tensioner , but it's been going strong ever since, I like to repair my own appliances if possible as most of the time it's something simple and you get more years out of it.

Thanks for this, I've managed to get my tumble dryer working again. A bit more complicated than in the video as mine is the condenser version and there is very little room around the capacitor - but all going now.

@@How-to-repairI love your videos
Thank you. Your step by step video is so easy to follow 👌 one step I didn't do was take the plastic Housing off that supports the drum front as I could access with it on...thanks again... I'm assuming that all of them scrap people are making easy money on fixing tumble dryers and washing machines that people are leaving out for them to collect
Thanks for this! Ours was having the starting fault intermittently & was generally slow to start. Just managed to change the capacitor, does need a few tools beyond a basic screwdriver to strip down the machine but I had these already, new capacitor fitted & working perfectly, a bit fiddly to access & getting the connectors on & off, but job done for under £20!
Interestingly ours takes a 7uF capacitor, I checked the new one on the multimeter and got 7uF exactly, the old one is only reading 2uF!
Really useful video, thank you! Very easy to follow, step by step. If you're considering doing this, don't be put off by what seems like a millions screws to remove, just track which goes where (as he suggests), and keep going. Great that the video even shows the order for putting everything back together again. If you're about to get started, my one top tip would be BUY two capacitors (7uF and 8uF) before you start - they cost about £10 each, and you're going to be saving the cost of a new machine (about £260). I learned that lesson the hard way - I used the model number on the back of my machine to track down the manual online which specified an 8uF capacitor. So you can imagine I wasn't too happy when I opened up the machine to discover a 7uF capacitor in place! Aargh! As I couldn't leave the kitchen a mess and run the rest of losing screws etc, the worse part was having to close up the machine again until the new part arrived, knowing I was going to have to go through the whole process again in another couple of days time! So, I strongly recommend you save yourself the hassle and buy two capacitors upfront! Machine now working beautifully. Thank you again!

Thank you very much for your expertise. Saved me the price of a new dryer. Excellent tutorial.
however i am a bit scared in trying to replace it as will i get electrocuted and does it have any electrical charge? also i cant see where it is located on my machine its a gvc d101bc-80
If your machine is unplugged how can you get electracuted
Great video but worth noting be careful when undoing the 13mm Capacitor bolt, when I was undoing mine the bolt wasn’t undoing it was in fact the capacitor that was turning which resulted in the two spade connector wires shearing off, it was an easy enough fix but if I did the job again I would follow the drum removal video first, this gives you much easier access to the capacitor and it’s only an extra 10 minutes to remove and refit the drum, also much easier for hoovering all the fluff up.Great videos though saved me buying a new dryer and the part only cost £10.
Thank you for this video! I was able to save myself the call out repair charge! 1hr of my time and a part which cost me £15! Dryer fixed 😏

3:43 If one of those torx screws are broken inside the plastic front.... How would you tackle this please? 🤔
The other torx is just not holding, well it did for over a year since changing capacitor, but now the hinge has snapped and want to hofuly do a full repair this time
This video was very helpful! , had to pull mine apart as I couldn't find the correct one online , i was fortunate to have one like this but with the condenser so it was easy to access , just got to wait for my part to arrive now thank you for this video!
Same here! Thanks!
Nearly ordered a motor my machine when it’s same as this . (We’ve been putting the weight of washing to one side and it starts it going 😂)
Shame I need to take it apart to find out what size it is (mine is one of them that I can’t order a part for 😓)
Thanks , this will be second time you’ve fixed my dryer
Wow, thank you so much, I believe our problem is the capacitor and will order one. Excellent video 🙌👍🏽
Great Video, helped me a lot on how to strip this down, mine was new and banging let hell consistent with the rotation of the drum. I found two dents on the drum where the front cover supports the drum rollers, this is exactly where it was damaged from new. was able to knock out the dents and smooth the roler running profile. now its perfect and quiet
Just played this game on a Candy heatpump dryer. However i didnt find the video until after I had took it apart and greased the rear bearing and de-fluffed the drum seal at the front that works as a support. The machine is back working however i think possibly the capacitor is weak hence it could mot overcome the increased resistance of the drum turning due to fluff on the seal perhaps? Does this sould feasible? Seems a strange design with the felt seal. There was some resistance beyond what I would think would be normal. Obviously the clean up of the lint has got it free enough for the capacitor to do its job just
Hello great video, mines the same doesn’t spin so followed your video and taken the old capacitor out mine has 4 pins, only 2 were spades were connected to it, looking online I can find the same 7UF capacitor but only 2 pins, would that still be ok? Its a 7UF 5% as is the one online.
Cheers mate. Just ordered a new capacitor, fingers crossed it's just that 🤞
hiya, I have a hoover infinity tumble dryer 8kg, I replaced the heater element in Sept and now as soon as you turn knob to setting it trips the electric, ive taken wires off the element and it do not trip and dryer will start up but after about 5 seconds it trips the electric, any idea please
which capacitor would i need to order can you help me please and is it easy to change it

Hoover dynamic next heat pump dryer has two Capacitors next to each other. One being 15uf and the other 7uf. Any idea what one would be for the motor to move the drum?
Incredibly helpful video, very informative with clear instructions, hopefully the next appliance I have that decides to die on me is covered in one of your videos 🤞🏼

Great video. Our machine is starting to display this fault.
I spun the drum, shut the door and switched it on, and it started, but drum did sound a bit noisy when I turned it.
Mine is doing this... did you ever do the fix?
Thanks for this. For what it's worth you may be able to get a phone in and take a picture of the capacitor labelling, if it's oriented in a favourable way, without removing the internal plastic sections. Saves a bit of time on the first bit. Illuminate with a torch and turn flash off. My Hoover VTV 580 NC-80 used a 7 microfarad version btw...
Hi mate I was wondering if you could let me know when I switch the tumble dryer on and push the drum and it begins to rotate the dryer begins to give of a burning smell. Is this burning smell coming from the capacitor do you think? Can you let me know what you think please. Thank you.
Does the condenser model vary much regarding stripping down to access the capacitor?
Thanks changed mine and repaired it. The capacitor was dead no spark. Mine is a zanussi and it is 35 yrs old!!!! The belt is threadbare but cost of replacement is too great. Never ever broken. Had 3 kids from birth to leaving home. Quality product unheard of today. Drum sounds and feels a little vibratory so bearing prob worn out. Capacitor was £7 so if it lasts 6 months great. Mine was a much easier fix than this indoor 8” square panel 4 bolts straight onto capacitor 2 minute job. Test with panel off and bobs uncle.
Hi, great guide! So as long as its a 7uf tumble dryer capacitor it would be fine? I don't have to worry about any of the vac ratings or anything? Thanks again
I have the condenser version of this dryer, and it was a bit of a pain to get to the capacitor. I still can't get one of the connectors off because I can only reach in one handed (due to the extra plastic bits at the bottom) but I was able to get a picture of the capacitor, and it is a 7uF one.
Ordered a replacement and I think I'll just cut a hole in the side with a Dremmel to access it better to replace it.
Of course I can't recommend cutting holes in machines but I do agree with you 100% that access to these capacitors are a nightmare. The manufacturer should have thought about it a bit better on the component that normally goes every 3 to 5 years. @nelftm I would love you to leave your opinion on our poll about manufacturers building in obsolescence to appliances. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxygHomnUySd_bYjaJBdEHPO6T4dYo9Ahm

@@How-to-repair Appreciate what you’re saying, but 2 days ago I was 100% decided to take it to the dump…. so for £11 and a bit of surgical cutting, I'll be more than happy with a patched up working machine!
Mine does this exact same thing with the hum, but it smells of burning at the same time. If I then switch off the machine and move the drum a tad, switch it on again it works fine. Would this be the same issue.

Hoping this helps my no spin csc8df-80. That’s the job today to see if it’ll spin with a push
Is this process much different on the heat pump models?
where are you based can you fix mine for me makes a noise and drum does not turn
Great video which gave me confidence to start. But when I tried to dismantle my HL V8LCG model (2018), I could not find the way to detach the top of the case after having removed the three screws at the back- it resisted all efforts to slide, left etc. Scared to use brute force because of plastic edging. Help!
Solved. The top has to be slid backwards to disengage with two screws in the body that it is slotted onto. My top was extremely difficult to pull backwards, but eventually could be tilted up and off. Phew!
I have this issue on mine, I always just open it turn the drum by hand and it’ll work okay….but, could this issue also cause my machine to overheat while it’s drying? Because although it’s working (to an extent) it’s definitely overheating and all my clothes come out smelling burnt…..any idea?
God bless you for your dedication, I managed to change the capacitor

I have a Hoover HY10A2TCE-80 heat pump dryer, the motor turns although the drum sticks sometimes but i have the top off to give it a helping hand to start it running, Is this likely to just be a capacitor or in the sticking drum another issue?
Thanks
I've stripped all of the necessary parts down to reach the capacitor but am struggling to pull those two wires out, they seem to be stuck quite firmly.
Is there another method to taking these off?
Great video, but I have a Hoover VHC 68 Condenser Dryer (the one next to the model you are working on in this video) which seems a bit more complicated to get in to, to sort the Motor, Capacitor & Belt.
It would be good and very helpful if you could do a video of how to get access to repair theis model.

Brilliant resource. Sorted my Candy Condenser dryer out perfectly 👍👍👍
We've just put our new capacitor in our condenser dryer with help from your videos and it spins like a dream.
However it doesn't seem to be heating now and coming up with error code E08. Not sure why! Is there anything we could've left unplugged by accident? We didn't unplug the sensor under the door so I know it's not that.
I have this problem with my dryer but when I try to give it the jump start as suggested it doesn't spin, does this mean that it's a different problem or could it still be the compressor? Any advise appropriated thanks

i thought my problem was the drive belt, replaced that (total strip down), put back together and still wouldn't start, just made a hmmmm noise, and would only turn with a little push to start off. Just ordered the Capacitor from your site, got my fingers crossed that this should work. Got a heater on order to as my machine had an e15 error as well and would not heat up.
If you have a humming noise then it's a good chance it is the capacitor that has gone faulty
Thanks a lot as you have helped me in a big way and will be ordering a capacitor from you shortly. Thanks to this film I don’t have to buy a new machine hopefully. I have a question though. When I switch the machine on and then push the drum it goes but there’s a burning smell coming from the machine. Could this still the capacitor? Can anyone let me know please.
Glad I could help
@@How-to-repair hey I was wondering if it would be the capacitor when there’s a burning smell when the dryers working.
Weirdly I tried this and mine still does the same thing and doesn’t spin. A push and it goes. Swapped the capacitor but can’t think for why it wouldn’t work or what now might be the cause. I stuck a continuity meter across the capacitor and got a good reading. Not sure if this would indicate anything wrong with it or not. Any more help would be greatly appreciated
