Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Condenser

On a condenser dryer, the heat exchanger that cools the humid air so the moisture drains into the tank or away.

Signs it has failed

• Clothes stay damp and cycles take much longer
• The condenser warning light stays on
• The water tank fills very slowly or not at all
• Cracks, leaks or a condenser that will not seat properly

Check before you buy

• Remove and rinse the condenser to clear lint, then retest
• Check the filter, fluff trap and door seal as well
• Inspect for cracks or a damaged seal that lets warm air bypass the unit

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your tumble dryer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the dryer and empty the water tank
2. Open the condenser cover and release the clips
3. Slide the condenser out and rinse it with lukewarm water, drying it fully
4. If damaged, fit the new condenser and its seal
5. Latch it closed and run a short test cycle

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.
