Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Control Board

The electronic control board (PCB) that reads the dials, buttons and sensors and switches the motor, heater, pump and valves.

Signs it has failed

• The appliance is completely dead, or the display is blank or garbled
• Buttons or the programme selector do nothing, or the cycle jumps or stops
• A fault code that keeps returning after the named part has been replaced
• Visible scorching, swollen components or a burning smell on the board

Check before you buy

• Check the supply, fuse, plug and any door switch first, since these cause the same symptoms
• Look for water ingress, corrosion or burnt tracks on the board
• Rule out the part named by the fault code (pump, sensor, element) before blaming the board

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 appliance (and turn the water off if it has a water supply)
2. Remove the panel to reach the board and photograph every connector and its position
3. Unplug the connectors and release the board from its clips or screws
4. Fit the new board with the connectors in exactly the same positions
5. Refit the panel, restore power and run a short test

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

Getting the right part

Boards are specific to the exact model and often to its software. Match the part number printed on the old board, then your model and serial number. Repaired or refurbished boards are common, so check what you are buying.
