Thanks so much for the video. My partners machine just failed and I took the top off thinking it would be a simple job of changing the brushes!! 😂😂 Found your video to find out it’s brushless!!! Figured it was worth forking out a tenner for a new capacitor rather than £300 for a new machine and hope it would do the trick. Followed all your instructions, cursed you at times for not showing more detail (😂😂) but am ultimately grateful as we now have a working machine again!!! £10 instead of £300 and no wastage. So, thank you very much for taking the time to post this video. 😊😊
Thanks Mark, oddly enough I could actually feel as though someone was slagging me off yesterday as my ears were burning 🔥. lol just kidding. I tried my best to make the process audible and visually easy to understand Mark and I’m happy you managed to successfully resolve besides the small erm, misunderstanding, your partner must be pleased too as you have saved money and avoided landfill, that is precisely why this video was made.
Thank you so much. I have a very old Hoover Nextra 8, which shows the water symbol and will not start. I have cleaned the filter and the condenser unit and emptied the water tank. But no, still the symbol is flashing RED. Do you have any recommendations of what I may check? Before I contact a very expensive technician who most probably will say buy a new on.. Warm regards from Norway, Lene
Hi Lene, and thanks 😀. Sounds like an issue around the Water Full indicator or the Reservoir which can have a build up of Lint/Fluff over time especially if the machine has not been maintained regularly. Don't know your skillset Lene but the Sensor is set deep inside of the machine and will require quite a lot of dismantling. Here are a couple of Vidz which may help; ua-cam.com/video/CekGxr7VQXw/v-deo.htmlsi=3WlcEHd7MggGEuaB ua-cam.com/video/YgVC-1qZYZU/v-deo.htmlsi=1re4Qd5AO_8T8quw
Thanks for the video, I just finished stripping and cleaning my own tumble dryer. Loads of dust inside. So it got a good clean. I replaced the capacitor as sometimes my drum would just stop during a cycle. Hoping that's sorted it out. Otherwise I'm gonna have to try some other things 😅. Thanks!
Thanks for your video, it's been really helpful. I have a very similar dryer, although mine is a heat pump rather than a condenser (I'm not sure what the difference really is but mine doesnt have the heating element at the back for example, just the fan and plastic housing). My drum has stopped turning, i think it's likely that the motor capacitor has gone but I cannot get the drum out. Do you have any guidance on how to remove the belt please, I'm guessing that needs to come off first? And then i think i may need to get a knife down the back like you've mentioned in a previous comment. I'm also struggling to get the door lock off the door, the wires don't seem to be removable and i cant seem to push the plastic bit through the machine front to separate them. Im hoping i can leave them connected without damaging any wires when i manage to get the drum out. Thanks!
Thanks Hannah, sounds like you have a Heat Pump type of Dryer there's a lot more to them. Hannah you can access the Capacitor via the Fan assembly on some Dryers apparently, I always remove the Drum so I can Vacuum out all of the Lint.
Great video, thank you for all the tips. My older but similar machine dries fine but keeps on running. When the timer gets down to 15 min's it stops counting down even when the load is bone dry. I 'acquired' another which needed a motor cap. Changed that & it works fine now, but does the exact same 15 minute thing! Both been thoroughly cleaned of visible fluff etc. Not a major issue but it just means the machine needs to be supervised. (And the O/H worries it'll catch fire!!)
Hi Opapagaio, This model has a Temperature Sensor on the front panel, Condenser Unit and one on the Heating Element. May the one at the front requires attention,
Very helpful vid but Just need to ask can you use a diff higher capacitor because the one u bought 7UF for £10 is listed for a completely diff dryer but the one for this machine said 12 UF but have the name of this unit in fitting list
Thanks Invincible, I only replace like for like, so if I remove 7UF +- 5% then that is what I replace with. No idea where the 12UF you suggested comes from. Regards.
great video mate, thanks. i was getting frustrated as the lid didnt seem to want to come away but seeing you do it gave me the confidence i wasnt going to destroy it! i have a similar issue but the drum wont spin when loaded, belt is fine and spins fine when unloaded?
Hi, I've got the condenser tumble dryer whereby it collects the water in the door - however, my machine makes all the right noises but its not collecting water and there's no videos on UA-cam for this issue. Do you know what could be wrong with my tumble dryer? Thanks in advance for your time.
Hi Angie, There is a Pump (on the left in 11:01), this could be blocked or malfunctioning as it fits into the Condenser unit which can get blocked with Lint if not maintained correctly.
Hi Steven, struggled myself at this stage. There is a Black Seal (see 6:59 on the vid) painted on type, had to use a bent knife to work the Drum free via the Heat Element vent. Regards 😎.
Excellent video and saved me a fortune! Finally got to the capacitor and it’s only going to around 4uf. I struggled with getting the drum out and it’s currently still attached to the main frame. That part of your video now explains why!
Hi Wayne, you can replace the Capacitor via the Fan Housing apparently, never tried myself as I prefer removing the Drum and and cleaning the whole Machines insides 😀.
Hi I have similar issue no heat I guess everything else works okay just no water extraction is in the tank even after full cycle is complete and clothes remain damp. Can you help please
would b great if you kept complete video instead of time lapse, so the ones that want to learn can view the entire process. It so happens I have an identical machine and would benefit from your complete video specially the taking out of drum & belt techniques you use
Thanks R1ZW4N, I hear you, however i speed up certain sections of the video just to reduce time, but you can still see what I am doing, rather than cutting out the entire section.
My friend had a hoover dynamix next dryer only for 13 months and the belt snapped everyone told her just get a new one as I am going to have to charge £80-£100 to fix it as it’s a pain to the drum out now I see why 😳 I am picking up a heat pump one later that doesn’t get hot but works fine other than that It works fine I hope it’s just not been cleaned Ever. And i can sort that. Very complex tumble dryer…
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yes you do but yeah this hoover dryer was only fit for scrap unfortunately. But I don’t know much about heat pump dryers but I know when they go wrong and cold it’s usually had it. But my Miele eco comfort broke down twice in its 7 years lifetime but lucky first it was the refrigerant sensor went then as soon as they guy left it broke down again they come back two weeks later and it was the moisture sensor or something under those screens was gone and loose so he put new one in had no problems since that was nearly a year ago. So all good for now. Like you said you win some , you lose some lol.
@@cloudyeastside take the front fan housing off (bottom right), take out the fan and spring washer behind it. Then the housing comes out. It’s abit tricky to start with as you’ve got to bend the housing out. Then I use 13mm socket with a 6’ extension bar.. wind the nut off and be carful not to drop unless you have spare
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yeah makes sense if you are looking to resell, must do about 3 of these a day in winter! Easy way to tell if the cap has gone is trick the door lock and then spin the drum by hand when you can hear the motor engaging

Great video. I've just change the motor in a very similar machine and this was a great help for stripping it down to get to where I needed to be👍
Thanks Abik,

great video mate, thanks. i was getting frustrated as the lid didnt seem to want to come away but seeing you do it gave me the confidence i wasnt going to destroy it!
i have a similar issue but the drum wont spin when loaded, belt is fine and spins fine when unloaded?
Thanks Russell,
that's a weird one, sounds like the Belt has stretched or has a flat spot but sounds like you have already eliminated that.
Do you need to take the drum out to do capacitor or just condenser housing?
Hi Mark,
Apparently you can gain access to the Capacitor via the Fan housing at the front.
Brilliant, step by step. Thank you
Thanks Chen,
happy to help 😀.
Hi mate, on this model do you need to remove the drum to swap the capacitor? Thanks
Apparently not Jay,
you can gain access via the Fan housing. I only take the Drum out as I clean the whole unit.

Hi Angie,
There is a Pump (on the left in 11:01), this could be blocked or malfunctioning as it fits into the Condenser unit which can get blocked with Lint if not maintained correctly.
also make sure the Condenser and Lint Filter is clean.
Hello
I need the front panel with the touch buttons, where i can buy it?
Thanks
Hi Pedro,
try eBay 😀.
i got the same model and i got to push the drum around to get it started could that be the same problem as this one,
Hi Jonathan,
more than likely it the Startup Capacitor.
Great video very helpful, thanks.
Thanks Tim,
happy to help 😀.
What screwdriver set do i need to get the lid off? I thought it would be a torx set but its not.
Hi Carley,
It is a 7mm Socket head or somewhere around that size.
Regards.
Great video - ours cuts out and I think it the moisture sensor will needs clean: do you know where it is?
Hi Susanne,
there are two Sensors, one is behind the Door panel and the other on top of the Condenser housing 😎.
Awe, thanks so much for your reply. Are those two sensors moisture sensors?
@@kuckuckskind289 I do believe the are.
how do you get the drum out, taken all the screws out and the belt off but seems to be stuck
Hi Steven,
struggled myself at this stage. There is a Black Seal (see 6:59 on the vid) painted on type, had to use a bent knife to work the Drum free via the Heat Element vent.

d i have a dynamic next one touch range 4 dxc9de-80 model no 169402 do I have to take the Brum out to change the capacitor
Hi Wayne,

Dispatch, its Ahmed 👍🏾
.
Same machine, all the filters are clean just doesn't produce much water and takes ages to dry.
By ages i mean 6 to 7 hours
Hi Raza,
does the unit warm up i.e. does the door glass get hot ?
Hi I have similar issue no heat I guess everything else works okay just no water extraction is in the tank even after full cycle is complete and clothes remain damp. Can you help please

The process consists in unscrewing about every screw you see..
Nice
Thanks Nitro 😀.

Hi Colin,
good luck with the Heat Pump unit and yes removing the Drum on these Hoover units can be quite testing.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 the hoover aqua tec heat pump was dead gas had gone so scraped it the next day….
@@colinsace1 No worries Colin, probably not cost effective to repair. You win some…..

Pos dryer anyways, sensors can fail too and buttons get wonky alright. Barely worth fixing unit cost £225 at the time
Thanks Zeroy,
totally disagree, brought for £25, part cost £10, sold for £115 on marketplace. Obviously works out better the cheaper you can get it.
What a stupid way to build a tumble drier, so much work just to change the capacitor. Was a 5 minute job on my Mums Indesit.
Thanks OS,
your not wrong, a side panel would have made the job a lot easier. Probably manufactured this way to deter people like me 😎.
Capacitor change can be done in less then 10 mins without having to strip it all down
Thanks Ross,
stripped the unit down to clean the insides as I do with all units, to prevent Dryer Fires.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 i see! I work for them, need any help drop me a message
What’s the trick, I’ve had to dismantle mine to change capacitor….
@@cloudyeastside Yes Cloudy,
they can be difficult especially first time around.
@@cloudyeastside take the front fan housing off (bottom right), take out the fan and spring washer behind it. Then the housing comes out. It’s abit tricky to start with as you’ve got to bend the housing out. Then I use 13mm socket with a 6’ extension bar.. wind the nut off and be carful not to drop unless you have spare
Hi mate this a ten minute fix, cap can come out via the fan housing
Thanks Will,
agreed however I prefer to clean the units inside and out, hence why I dismantle the unit.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yeah makes sense if you are looking to resell, must do about 3 of these a day in winter! Easy way to tell if the cap has gone is trick the door lock and then spin the drum by hand when you can hear the motor engaging
@@dougwilz thanks good tip, I use this same process for everything I repair 😀.
