Great video thanks, used this to work out how to get the front off to change the lock switch, most other machines it unscrews from the outside, but not this model of Hoover, couldn't find it anywhere on the web until I saw this! Well done!
Good tutorial, helped a lot in dismantling and repairing my machine. I'd recommend rotating and taking out the fan cover after taking off the frame that holds the drum as it comes out a lot easier.
Fantastic tutorial. We would never have known how to dismantle the fan housing either. This video helped us change a capacitor and we were able to do so through the gap left by the fan's removal. Thankfully we didn't have to remove the drum. Thanks for uploading
Well done, Marie. Although replacing the cap is possible it is quite difficult as you have to work blind and through touch as it access is so limited. At least this video shows where the cap is at 6:55
I have just done this today. It took me about 3½ hours though another time I would expect it to be quicker. I was not helped by the fact that my dryer is stacked on the washing machine My problem turned out to be that one of the pulleys had seized completely Some observations:- 1 I was completely unable to remove the top half of the fan housing with the drum support panel in situ and so modified the process here by removal of the panel first. (I note that this is glossed over in the video) 2 Had a terrible time trying to remove the wheels from round the motor shaft, but persevered and lost a bit of skin. (Matt you make it look so easy) 3 Replacing the fan housing is not helped by the wiring loom which is anchored right in the path to the slot. A bit of wire coathanger bent to a hook to hold it out of the way worked. (same bit of wire used to pull the spring on to the bracket) 4 The door hinge is secured with torx screws so make sure that you've got some. After completion it is a great feeling to switch on and find that the awful squealing has gone. Thanks Matt for a video that gave me the courage to try it. I guess I saved quite a bit of dosh today and so I am very pleased.
Would most definitely put more time into showing how to put it back together. Like attaching the belt to the jockey wheels and also sliding the roof of the fan casing back in which has a guide on the right hand side - once you’ve twisted it to lift the wires over the top. Great vid though, than you.
My Candy tumble dryer is emitting a squealing sound each time the drum rotates. Espares vids suggest could be either the jockey wheels or belt tensioner, so not sure which parts to get. Any suggestions ? The belt itself looks to be in good condition
Kris Bateman The manufacturer does not list these or give information on the size of these. However if you remove the heater cover and rear fan you can access the motor fixing bolts that we think are the same. You should be able to use one of these as a pattern to match at DIY or car spares firms.

Thanks Cheryl, hope you sorted the problem.

Thanks for the comments David, often by dismantling a bit more the job can be easier. :-)

+rick archer Thanks for the comments Rick. Glad you got there and as you say there are a number of points that can be difficult.
excellent job.thanks.

Hi, thanks for your feedback on our video. Hopefully it was helpful for you repairing your tumble dryer!

Hi hathairne, the easy way to test them is to spin them and listen for the noise, if the bearing has gone inside the wheels you will hear it.
Please can you tell me what size bolts to use to secure the jockey wheel to the indesit idc 85 drier I've lost the bolts

+Kris Bateman Probably no good to know now, but they are 8mm
+jason hounsell Thanks for the info. Hope it hasn't taken 7 months to source replacements.
