Hoover 5040ed clothes dryer does not heat up enough to dry clothes

If your Hoover 5kg dryer is not working properly, there are a few potential causes for this problem:

• The dryer may not be receiving enough power. Make sure the dryer is plugged in and the outlet is functioning properly.
• The dryer's lint filter may be clogged. Clean the lint filter to ensure it is not blocking the air flow.
• The dryer's vent may be clogged. Check the vent and clean it if necessary to ensure the air can flow freely.
• The dryer's heating element may be damaged. If the heating element is not functioning properly, the dryer will not be able to dry clothes effectively.

If you are unsure how to check for and address these potential causes, you may want to consult the user manual for your Hoover dryer or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

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.

Wow, a late 1980 machine! If it is turning and not heating it probably needs a new heating element, IF you can find one. New ones are more energy efficient and look prettier. They also have sensing programs to stop drying when the clothes are dry and my Whirlpool has a water injector to steam refresh clothes or remove creases before you wear.

Is it heating up at all? I just fixed my vision hd hoover 381 dryer by replacing the heating element. Email me if you think this might be you ([email protected]). When the dryer is running, feel the metal heater housing (carefully) on the back (silver bulge) if your model is like mine.

You will need to check the internal, as well as the external vent line for lint buildup.

change element and or thermostat

Ceck the vent hose and vent. Make sure these are clear of obstruction. This is tipical of poor venting. The dryer can`t remove the moist air to dry the clothes properly.
