I have this problem with my Hoover VHC681C. The plastic at the back of the condenser unit warps outwards and stops it fitting back in the hole. To work around the problem, when I've finished washing out the condenser I pour very hot water on the warped plastic to soften it, push it back into shape with a wooden spoon handle and hold it there while it cools. Then I hold it into shape with my fingers before slamming the condenser back into the hole. You have to be quick! A replacement condenser is £70 - £100 in the UK. Very disappointed in this machine. I will consider shaving off the warped plastic if it becomes too troublesome.

    Great fix. Had the same issue. Very poor from Hoover that this happens to the unit, it shouldn’t warp like this.

    So helpful. I just cut a small bit of that white plastic off the three sections at the back of the condenser. Slotted in perfectly. Thanks! Mine is a vhc68b Hoover

Hoover dynamic next tumble dryer beeping, stopping, starting, condensation on the glass. Still getting hot
It sounds like your tumble dryer may be experiencing some kind of issue with its sensor system or control board. The beeping and stopping and starting could indicate a problem with the sensors that detect moisture levels in the dryer, which can cause the machine to think that the clothes are dry when they are not. This can also cause the condensation to build up on the glass.
Another possibility is a problem with the control board, which can cause the dryer to behave erratically or stop functioning properly. If you have already cleaned out the lint and checked all of the mechanical parts, it may be time to call a professional repair service to diagnose and fix the issue. They will have the tools and expertise to identify the root cause of the problem and repair or replace any damaged parts.

Candy heat pump tumble dryer not collecting water and taking forever to dry!
Condenser dryers are simple in operation. They use a heater element to force hot air to heat the clothes and turn the water to steam. That steam is turned back into water by drawing cold air into the machine and over the heat exchanger unit and into the drum. The problems with them is that they are slow to dry.

Your best bet is to call for service, and the problem is likely the sensor probe or one of the thermal cut out.

Hoover Vision HD VHC381 Condenser Dryer. Why does it stop after 5 to 10 seconds?
Edited question for clarity. Re-catorgized to Hoover Dryers

This is a condenser dryer so the parts are not the same. Normally it would be one of the three sensors for temperature control. This only has one sensor, but strangely (for a dryer) it has a pressure switch, and a water valve. My advice is to call for Hoover Service.

There is an exploded view of the parts from the drop down arrow.

Candy GOC 590C condenser tumble dryer I've just taken the condenser out to give it a wash and it won't fit back into the hole . I have looked inside and there is a groove in there but the condenser won't...
The condenser unit will only fit in one way there are normally arrows on the front telling you what way or some you just have to align the 3 locks some are difficult to push back into position you have to lift the back end when pushing back patience is the virtue on these sometimes

Hoover tumble dryer infinity vison hd condenser keeps tripping after about 3 seconds only had it 6mths? tried fuses, all filters clear and empty.
have you cleaned the condenser down at the bottom of the dryer and pull it out and put hose through it and look in where you have taking it out and make sure its clean and take off back off the machine and see if the element is wet leave it to dry out and if that doesnt help check if the water is going in the tank or your pump could be faulty

Hoover Maxi 6 TC50 Tumble Dryer making squealing noise
Have you fixed this problem? I also have a Hoover condenser dryer, only a few months old, and has started to make a squeal/whistle. I'm thinking it might be the front fan needing some WD40, OR too much water vapour around the belt that moves the drum causing the sounds.

If it's the fan, lubricating the shaft and its components should fix the problem, if a wet fan then I'd think maybe fully cleaning the condenser filter, reservoir ect will fix the problem.

The problem seems to go away though "mostly" 15 or so minutes after you start the dryer, so that makes me think ones it gets warm something is expanding to allow more "give" so maybe the belt.

I think you may have a bad relay on the motor, where power is re-applied after the push start is released
