Thank you so much! i had this for a year and couldnt figure out why it wasnt drying my clothes i asked people what settings they would use on there machines, and since this is the first time i have owned one i thought it was 8kg on all settings turns out its just on 1
Hi mate, do you have a matching washing machine for it? My kitchen is Anthracite grey and need a similar coloured appliances as i don't want an integrated machine and dryer. Thanks for the helpful videos.
Hi. I have just bought this exact dryer and have a question. I have dried two loads of laundry in it so far and already the condenser cleaning red light has come on as has the filter red light. The filter is spotless and the condenser just can not possibly need cleaning yet. It does go off when I start a new cycle. Is this normal? Are the sensors overly sensitive? Thanks :)
I'm having an issue. The red condenser cleaning light came on today so I totally cleaned out the condenser, the condenser itself and inside and around the area and left zero fluff. The dryer refuses to start now and still getting the red condenser cleaning light. Any help guys? Would appreciate it. Have 3 loads to dry
Brilliant video but I don’t suppose u could do an overview video on the Indesit I3D81WUK 8KG Condenser Tumble Dryer because I’ve ordered it but never seen it in person thanks 😊
Hi, I have the same tumble dryer it is showing err code. I don't know what is that symbol mean could you please help me with that. Water 💧 sign in small box. Thanks Chaudhry
Hi great video thank you I have just received this model, instructions are poor especially re the drainage installation pipe, which pipe is it black or clear that would go into the waste drainage pipe and how do you extend it as it looks very short? Thank you
I've just had a look at the instructions and it looks like it is the black one to go into the waste outlet. i don't think you will be able to extend the pipe, if you need it longer it would be a case of finding a piece of piping in one run
Thinking about buying one of these machine for an elderly parent, how often would you recommend the tank can be emptied, i think waiting til it's full could be a little heavier than we'd like for her
On the whole, you would normally empty it every 3-4 loads, but as you say it can get heavy. I know of customers that empty the water and clean the filter after each load, this way it is done each time and the container is a lot lighter than if you leave it until it is full.
Hi mate, I bought this same dryer only last week but when I turned it on for the first time it had the loudest noise almost like a tractor engine, had to turn it off straight away. I thought it may be that silver foil on the back that needs removing as thought it might be covering up the air vent but looking at your video its kept on? is that correct? Have you heard of this before as the noise is unbelievably loud
You shouldn't need to take the silver foil off the back. The loud noise doesn't sound normal. If it is like that straight from new the I would get in contact with the retailer for them to have a look at it.
Great explanation and helpful demo! Received this model today and puzzled by a rubber strip at the bottom lip of the front of the dryer. It was held on by tape but not sure if it is protective packing or part of the dryer. The rubber runs the width of the machine. Welcome your thoughts as installation sheet makes no mention. Thanks again Neil
I must admit it is odd that it is on the dryer, we have been recommended by Hotpoint to keep it on but i cannot really see what the advantage of it is.
I’ve unpacked the dryer but on the underneath underneath the front edge there’s a rubber strip about 1” wide that is partly fixed at each end and hangs down in the middle. Should this be removed?
Hi. Thank you for this video. I have just bought a H3D91 and have used it successfully for a few washes but now have A red square warning light with 3 red lines inside. What does this mean?
@@margaretdavis624 Hi. This flashed up on mine tonight so I took out the condenser, totally cleaned it and around it and inside the unit but I am still getting the red box and can't start the load. Did it take a while for yours to reset? Thanks. Bri
Great video and review. We have just purchased this model but it is making a loud thudding noise. Do you have any idea what might be causing it? We’ve tried and checked everything. Literally unboxed it for first use and it is vibrating through the whole house. Any advice welcome
Does sound odd that it is making this noise. If you have only just unboxed it and it's making this sound then i would contact the retailer you purchased it from as it sounds faulty.
@@wally6200 you have to get in touch with hotpoint directly so that you can book an engineer to have a look at it only then can they authorise an exchange from whom ever you got it from. It is a great machine when it’s working properly so don’t give up on it.
Just bought a H3D91condenser tumble dryer and it is making a heartbeat sound as it is drying. A constant boom boom once every revolution it is only 5 weeks old. Is this normal please
Bought one of these and lived for 3 years at hes place...used max 3 times and it never gets hot since the day I got it...3 one from argos...and this was there last replacement...took it to bits looking for reset button!!! Can anyone help me.
Thankyou for the run down on this tumble dryer , i thought i would need a degree to work it lol. However it doesnt seem to be heating up. Its the first time use😳, before i get it took baack do you know of any simple reson why first?😮 x
It should just get warm, there isn't anything special about the drying function on this model so it should start to get warm in a short space of time. Don't forget that because it has a sensor, then the first couple of minutes may not be heating, but if after 10 - 15 minutes it doesn't appear to be warming then i would contact the retailer to get them to sort it for you.
My Hotpoint Aquarius condesor gets cleaned after every cycle but the two red lights on the sensor still appear that they need cleaning? I've tried unplugging the socket but no luck? Also what's the equivalent to Mixed Load on an Aquarius TCFS 93B GP setting? Thanks
Not sure if it would help, but it may be worth cleaning the sensor in the dryer. It is normally around the door on the inside, just give it a wipe over as it may help to solve the problem.
This seems to be an issue with the red lights mine is a day old put 2 loads threw it and one red light came on I did think it was way to soon for a clean but took the condenser filter out it was spotless but cleaned it anyway and cleared the fluff filter out and it was practically clean. Light is now off but that's not normal. Possible sensor issues I think. A bit annoying considering it's brand new
This is my dryer it keeps saying water tank needs emptying and it doesn’t it’s only 1 year old but keeps buzzing every 2 minutes and switching off can you please tell me what the problem could be thanks
The only time we have had this is when the drawer is not pushed in properly at the top, or one of the pipes connecting the drawer on the back of the machine has become disconnected.
hi i have had this dryer a few months, always empty water & clean filter after use but now it keeps switching off & a red warning light has come on so cleaned bottom filter also,turned on & it switched off again & red light came back on. could you explain the red light please as no info for this can be found....thank you
Thanks, just checked it again after running 20 mins sounds a tad like a scrape too, are there any transport bolts to remove, I couldn’t see anything mentioned in the unpacking instructions, thanks for the quick reply BTW, I just emailed the supplier
@dave Yes I emailed them and they sent a replacement right away, picked up the first one and delivered another new one. First one was defo faulty, replacement did not have thumping noise, no questions asked, excellent service from Hughes
I bought this 5 days ago and is making big noise like crushing metal something like that is that normal I called the shop yesterday and they said is normal and I keeping using like that. 5 minutes ago from this post I got the error message F1 E2. I think is not normal.
I just bought the same Model: H3D91WB UK which was delivered yesterday (15th Sep) and I was surprised to see you had the same model on your video. I wish all companies created videos such as yours to put on UA-cam for customers, as it would make it easier to either learn how to use, or even assemble their products, as some manuals are a bit awkward to follow. Anyway, I digress, I really loved your video, but there is one thing I didn’t get. On the video I see the numbers 2:20 on the screen, is that 2hr 20 min? I would think we would only need 30 minutes to dry anything. How do we set the timer for 30 minutes. I will look back later to see if you have answered my problem. Once again, great video.
It will normally come up with a time like 2 Hours 20 Mins but as it uses sensor dry then it will change the time depending on the dampness of the clothes, load size etc..
@@lords-electrical Thank you for your help. I used my machine for the first time on Sunday and everything went okay. I think I will keep using it on "Eco Cotton". I see what you mean that the machine changes the time setting to when the clothes are dry. Once again thank you for you reply.
Hey, I just bought this model today and hoping it works well. Thanks for your very informative video. I do have one question. What does pressing the rapid button do? So say I am using bed and bath and press rapid, does it increase the temperature/tumbles to make the drying faster?
@@lords-electrical its weird. Yesterday i selected cupboard dry and its a 2.14 cycle but after 1 hour it went down to 0.02 and then when it reached 0.01 it would go to 0.11 and did that about 5 times. I switchd off and tried again and then it was stuck on 2.10 for a while, 50 mins later it finished the cycle and all clothes were dry. And alot of water in the tank
Great, thorough review. I've wondered how you gained such a vast knowledge of household appliances? Did you attend a course or is it just what you've picked up? Thanks
I have gained knowledge as i work with them selling them and have done for about 20 years. It is amazing how things have changed over the years, not always for the better though. Thanks for the feedback
so is there anyone on here that uses the timed drying i want to use it over night.it doesn't offer a time on the display to set to. the fact he didn't demonstrate it makes me think it doesn't work!
My drying is still working but displaying two red symbols like fishing nets. The condenser is clean, filter is clean and water collector is empty. It's only a month old. I can't find anything in the literature that tells me what it's trying to tell me.
Just check the door is firmly shut. If it is slightly open then it won't start. Or also make sure the water container is empty, if it is full then it won't dry also.
There may be a fault with one of the sensors, but I would first of all clean the sensor inside the door cavity to see that helps. If not it may be a case of getting someone to have a look at it for you.
It shouldn't be making a grating sound from brand new. Just check there is nothing in the drum but apart from that I would contact the retailer you purchased it from for them to have a look for you.
Great very handy to see what you need to know demonstrated. Thank you!

How do I get dryer out of demo mode it says demo in corner and I can’t use it
Does this dryer have a reverse tumble for duvet covers , dryers that roll them into tight ball are a pain 😢
Yes this has reverse tumble.
Iv only had my exact tumble dryer in this video only had it 5 weeks barely used yet and now it’s drying out cold air??? How can I rectify this?!
Does sound a bit odd, if you have tried different programmes and only drying in cold air then there may be a fault with it.
Is there a time delay on opening the door mid ceycle by pressing pause button mine just got it does not want to open?
Normally it will only be seconds. But unless you really have to it's not recommended to open the door mid cycle if you can help it.

@@lords-electrical Thank goodness other people have this problem, now I will just leave it. Thank you all for your input.
The rubber strip is for if you put it on top of the washing machine it will stop thing going in the gap
It would be great if the kg was written on the dial so you’d know right away the max weight for each one
I’ve unpacked the dryer but on the underneath underneath the front edge there’s a rubber strip about 1” wide that is partly fixed at each end and hangs down in the middle. Should this be removed?
No, just leave it in place. I will be honest i am not sure what purpose it serves but it is just designed to be left there.
The rubber strip on the bottom is just to stop dust going under the dryer. I just left mine on
I brought this dryer 4 months agi now, and it is making a grinding noise when on, any tips?
It is normally the bearings when there is a grinding noise.
I would contact the manufacturer to get them to have a look at it
Hi.
Thank you for this video. I have just bought a H3D91 and have used it successfully for a few washes but now have A red square warning light with 3 red lines inside. What does this mean?

You can remove part of the pipe at the back and put it into a drain outlet if you would prefer.

Only some dryers have a rest button on the back, not many now though. If its Hotpoint its more likely to be a heating element issue.

Yes it will dry the clothes properly and get hot.

So as you skipped over it I guess you don't know how to set the timer?
Red light keeps coming on saying there's water in the pump brand new machine also new pump just been fitted red light still coming on
Beeps
Beeps and stops
Why is it so noisy
2hr 20mins to dry a standard load !!!!!😮 surely that’s just way too long
It will be the initial setting, but with the sensor dry setting it will alter the time of the program to how dry the clothes you need them.
Thank you
