Firstly apologies if you can't assist with dryers, I did check and I didn't see anything to say you didn't but at the same time I didn't see anything to say you did. We have a Hotpoint TCL780 Condenser Dryer, it recently stopped getting drying clothes and just ran cool. I did various investigation work (basically I googled it!), everything appeared to point to a problem with the thermostats. I bought a couple of replacement thermostats off eBay, fitted these but no change, the dryer still didn't get hot. I did a bit more digging and it suggested I replaced all 3 thermostats rather than the 2 I had already replaced. In the end I decided to buy the entire heater unit complete with thermostats. Before this arrived I was playing around with the dryer and I found it did get warm when using one of the Set and Forget programmes, i.e. 1 Ready To Wear 2 Cottons Cupboard Dry, it only doesn't work when you try and set using one of the number, i.e. 60. The replacement heater unit arrived and I fitted it yesterday, anyway there is no change it still only works on the Set and Forget programmes. I've already cleaned out the dryer, removed any fluff etc, we've also had the 'safety' repair several months ago so it should all be good to go Any suggestions on what to try next?
