Re: Hotpoint tumble dryer intermittent fault

'Mr White': an unhelpful pair of responses. I will turn to use a more useful site. This is just wasting my time and that of all other readers of these forums.

Hotpoint tumble dryer intermittent fault

I have a tumble dryer which sometimes fails to illuminate the initial panel lights and thus fails to start, but other times the lights come on and the dryer will start. Occasionally it will start and then cut out after just a minute. The motor and the drum are good. I suspect the pcb behind the cont...

Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Intermittent Fault

I have a vented Hotpoint tumble dryer model number TVFS73BGP. It is 6 years old. A few days ago it suddenly failed to turn on. After investigation (eg fuse checks etc) and a few trials, the dryer now intermittently starts then stops, doesn't start at all, or occasionally starts and runs a full cycle...

Re: Cold feed pipe from loft tank to hot water cylinder getting hot

Is it normal and expected that the cold feedpipe should get at least warm in the lower part as heat from the cylinder extends part way up that pipe?

Re: Cold feed pipe from loft tank to hot water cylinder getting hot

Thanks, yes I have checked that in so far as possible as it is a bendy pipe and difficult to assess any potential blockage at bends. I am considering replacing this pipe. Another idea occurs, it may be a faulty mixer valve. But that could be either sink or showers. Showers are gravity fed but with a...

Re: Cold feed pipe from loft tank to hot water cylinder getting hot

Stoneyboy - thank you very much for your suggestion. I have checked that potential cause and the gap is fine. All best.

Cold feed pipe from loft tank to hot water cylinder getting hot

The domestic system is a heat-only gas boiler with an indirect and vented hot water cylinder in airing cupboard and a pressurised system for the radiators. The cylinder has a vent pipe at the top which usually remains cold and yet the cold feed pipe which has a column of cold water from the tank in ...
