ha brill thanks buddy. very good tutorial , ive just had to order a new heating element, everything wors on the dryer but the heat. the cost was less than 2o pounds hoping it saves me 100s . thanks great vid.
More repair videos like this would be great.
Thanks! managed to change my hotpoint heating element thanks to your video.
That's great to hear, i'm glad it has helped you out. Thank for the feedback 👍
Greatly appreciated video
love to see a tumble dryer bearing replacement video
Great video .. im about to do this .. i think mine is a slightly different model but your video was clear and easy to follow , thanks
This will work for several of the models from Indesit / Hotpoint. Good luck with this!!
All of these videos are very helpful. Fixing appliances and machines of every sort used to be commonplace but when people began getting too much money they started discarding broken appliances and buying new ones and a culture of waste replaced a culture of repairing broken things. Maybe soaring interest rates will shock people back to their senses. Knowing how to fix things never goes out of date. Hats off to this well informed technician.
Thank you!
spot on !
Weldone, I saved £200 . Thanks
Great to hear this 👍
Is that a large capacitor near the heater element cable connector? If so, will it be holding a charge that could harm you if touched?
Thankyou
Thanks for the vid. My dryer is a hotpoint aquarius tvm570 it's getting warm just not hot.
Could it be the thermostat or something different. Thanks
If the heating element has gone then it wouldn't normally get warm at all
Can you hoover inside the tumble dryer to remove the lint or should you just brush/wipe it?
You can vacuum it out that's no problem, and sometimes its easier to reach with a vacuum rather than trying to wipe it out.
My new heating element didn’t come with the little plastic clip that goes into hold the wire in place and now I’m worried about it catching fire
Just followed everything to a tee, very simple and easy to follow. However I now can see a small amount of smoke coming from the drum on the first attempt. Is this normal for a new heating element? Could it just be dust from where I’ve cleaned it out and loosened thing? Don’t know whether it is now safe to use??
Really difficult to comment on this. They will have a small amount of dust on but it shouldn't really be smoking. Be very careful and don't leave unattended if you are not sure.
@@lords-electrical thanks for the quick reply, have left to run for a bit and the smell and smoke have gone. It was more of a haze than full on smoke so could have been dust. All seems good now
Next, how to mend the Hadron Collider, with its subatomic composite particles, composed of Quarks held together by Force , the same way Atoms and Molecules are held by a Electromagnetic force, You May need a couple of days revision and a cheeky wee bunch of screwdrivers.......
I would need a large bunch of screwdrivers as its 27km long!! At least once its repaired i could get some Higgs Boson or Top Quark from it. 😃
If I want to remove the heating element completely, would removing it like shown, still allow the tumbling to work? I don't need my washing dried, I need it tumbled and the air sucked out to get the dog hairs off my clothes.
Yes, in theory if you remove the heating element then it should still rotate and tumble but without trying it i wouldn't be 100% sure.
this video will work for ariston dryers
Just moved home and inherited a Hotpoint Aquarius. Works but doesn't get warm.Did the reset on the back but didn't work,saw a video saying change the pump,which i did,worked fir a day and now back to square 1. I guess this is the next step?
Did you say you have changed the heating element? If not then this could be worth doing as in this video.
Did it yesterday,all good now thank you😊
I have heat but my towel ls are wet any ideas ????
If the washing is wet, then i would try spinning it in the washing machine for a bit longer to try and extract more water out of the clothes first.
Its strange that its getting warm, but its not drying though?
@lords-electrical Yes it is strange, It's like it could be lacking air flow. But I cannot find any information on it. I had a towel that was dryed on a washing line I stuck that in to see if the drying function would make the towel soft. It came out soaked ? This has what has made me look into it more. I removed the towel a whole load of heat comes out of the machine bit the towel is soaked ?
Once started, don't be panicking about smoke. This due to the newness of the element.
If its not heating 9 times out of ten its the cut out stat a lot cheaper than changing the heater
How can you tell if it is the cut out thermostat? Can you reset it or do you have to replace it?
Heating element? what kind of ancient machine are you using. everything has been heatpumps for like 10years already
Is this more efficient or more reliable? Or just cheaper?
Now it’s tripped the main box with no power getting to the dryer heeeelp plz 😮😊
If the element has been changed just check the connections have been put on the correct way round
