Hotpoint tumble dryer won’t heat up. How to reset the heating element thermostat if not getting hot 

Absolutely AWESOME!!!! GEORGE TO THE RESCUE!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Well George, I for one am very grateful. Followed your clear instructions and IT WORKED!! I've got heat from my tumble dryer again, thank you very much!

This video just saved me from looking for what part to change to buying a new unit entirely. Thank you for the information. I was so happy to hear the click 😀

Amazing, I thought there must be a way but wasn't sure, after researching I found your video, brilliant buddy. It worked a treat, just saved a fortune as missus was stressing to buy another, especially when 40weeks pregnant and baby should have been here already, thank you very much.

Worked a treat on my old hotpoint aquarius and saved me buying a new one, especially when moneys tight.. You are a legend. Thanks so much, i subscribed as a thank you.

What a great video. Mine was a Hotpoint tumble dryer (different model), 9 months old and had to do the same thing. Easy to take to bits, but I knew it would be a pig to put back together. Up and running. Really helpful video, saved waiting for a warranty repair.

My Hotpoint dryer was not heating up so after seeing your video I checked the thermostats with multimeter and one wasn’t working . I used a cocktail stick and it reset and now works again. Thanks , it’s saved paying engineers fees.

Fixed my tumble dryer instantly. Thank you so much.

I am forever grateful, I've just fixed my tumble dryer after 10 months thanks to your video, my reset was on the side and hard to get to but a bent paperclip did the trick, I was so happy to hear that little click. As a hard working single mum, you have made my Christmas. The model no was an indesit l1d80wuk Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏

Another happy subscriber. I heard the click and knew I was onto a winner. Gent for sharing this

Just watched this and done it and worked thank you 👍 I was nearly buying a new dryer

So glad that I found this tutorial because I’ve finally managed to get my hotpoint dryer up and running properly again

This worked perfectly, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge !

Thank you for posting this - it worked on our Hotpoint tcfs93bgp tumble dryer !

Thanks George. Followed your video, did the same to mine tonight and now working again.

Fantastic bit of advice. Worked a treat. And shame on the manufacturers for not publicising this.

Thank you for the video, couldn’t have solved it without it.👍

Glorious 🌅 Thanks for this. Fixed the dryer, saved money.

Just fixed mine. Spot on advise and I'm in Mrs good books for now 😀 nice one 👍

Worked a treat. You're a legend bro 👊🏿

Brilliant, worked straight away thanks!

Thank you my friend. This sorted out my machine. Great Video.

Great video. Worked a charm on my Hotpoint CTD40 👍🏻

Top video squire! That just saved me a few bob! CHEERS!

It worked thanks 😊 I was looking at the wrong part so pleased 😊

Spot on, many thanks George 🙂 👍

Just carried out the tip. Worked. So pleased to hear the click on reset. Thanks

Very helpful video. Many thanks for this 👏🙏

Thank you for this video. You've saved me a lot of money not having to buy a new Tumbledrier.

It worked! Thank you soooo much for sharing!🎉

Just followed this and fixed my dryer, thanks!

Top man you saved the day worked spot on thanks

Thank you what a super video it fixed my hotpoint dryer and a easy fix not in a million years would you work that out without this video

Many thanks. Got mine working. Saved me a few quid

Very helpful. Thank you bro for sharing.

Great video, did this on my dryer earlier today as it was cold and all lights flashing. Took 10 min to do and working again 🎉

This is crazy, IThanks so much for posting this. I have a hotpoint d80wuk which stopped heating up, using the little button saved me tons!!

You Sir have just saved me a call out fee and repair charge. Annoyingly though my reset button was on the side of the heating element that I couldn’t get to properly so I had to try and unscrew that to get to it which was really awkward given the angle of it but I managed it in the end. Too man, cheers. 👍

Thank you worked a treat, will monitor and change sensor if needed.

Thanks George! It works...👍👍

Excellent video and meant I could fix it myself. Apart from the seal giving me some trouble to get the big cover off, it was a piece of cake. Hotpoint probably charge about £100 to fix this

Not all heroes wear capes, Legend, we're back in the game 💥 click 🔥

Works a treat thank you

Amazing you sir are a genius....dryer fixed 😅

Thank you. This just fixed mine. Wasn't the heater thermostat on mine. Was the one in the front by the filter.

Thank you very much I done it it's working now well done

Thanks so much ...can't believe it worked ...was going to buy a new tumble dryer 😂

Thank you, worked!

You sir are a legend 👍

Life saver and money saver 🙌 thanks 😊

Thank you so much for the video 👍🏻

Thank you very much, it work it like you explain. Thanks once again, my machine was stop working because of that problem more then 4months. 🙏🏿🇵🇹

Excellent video and detail.

George, you're a legend!

You just saved me a few hundred pounds - thank you! (Used this technique to fix a Hotpoint Aquarius 8.)

Well done mate you just saved me money that I was short on I thought here goes another dryer this morning and I thought I will just try RU-vid and this video was the first one up 😊

Legend! It worked

You are awesome. Thanks very much.

Great video 👍

thanks, with 2 kids and piles of washing in the ranks you've saved my proverbial ar$e

perfect, thanks

Best vid ever wow❤

Thank you very much! Used this trick on my Hotpoint machine and it's up and running again. I wonder if it had something to do with the dry yesterday, as I noticed I hadn't pushed the water tray the whole way in, maybe it caused the machine to overheat or do something. But either way it works perfectly now!

worked like a charm mate, thanks so much!

Listen mate, you just save me ! Thank you so much for posting this video ! Is there a reason why it happened? I'm wondering if it's because it was overloaded ? Could that be a factor? Either way it's working now .. cheers mate !

Thank you

Thank you 🙏

Why do you think the stat went o/c in the first place ??? Might be a good idea to explain this as prevention is better than the cure

Thxxx its work !!! U R suppper herrrooooo 😂😂🔥🔥 Thxx alooooottttt u saved mee

Worked on hotpoint aqualtis thankyou so much its been out of action 2yrs 😂

Hi, thanks for the video! I heard a click and put it back together but unfortunately still no heat. What would you suggest next? Thanks!

Thank you for your video. On My Indesit 1 thermostat has a hole on it, and the other one has no a hole. Is this how it should be? I reset the one has a hole and the current goes through now, I checked with a multimeter. But the second thermostat can't be reset and current doesn't go through it. I don''t want to buy wrong parts trying to guess. Nothing is cheap these days.

Hi, I have a hotpoint model H2D81Wuk . I followed the instruction but there doesn't seem to be a hole in the middle like in your video. Please help!

The 1st set of screws on silver padding are not screws on mine...they more hexagon shape? Can't get it off?

hey! thanks for the video, the fix worked but it tripped again a few uses later. any idea of the cause so i can fix the route of the issue please

This was really helpful… except I didn’t get the click… how can I determine the issue now? Cheers

I have Zanusi ZDC8203W condenser that is not heating. I was initially called because the belt snapped it turns on and the motor is spinning but discovered no power to the elements. The TOC on the heater is fine and the NTC is working there. There is continuity on the blower ntc any suggestions please?

Hi my dryer doesn’t have a hole in the sensor, what would you suggest?

Have just replaced the whole heating element on an Indesit dryer and it's still not heating up, any idea what else could be wrong? It tumbles fine.

On my Indesit doesn't have I reset button were you have shown help please

Hi I just changed the heating element is there any fire risk if I have done it wrong? I feel it was straightforward enough

Hi our dryer dosnt have a hole for reset, you wouldnt know what we should do, do you?

My thermostat popped but i pushed it back in and its still running cold any idea? CDN7000

Hi it work for me too but it keeps going again do you know the reason for this, is it time for a new machine?

My high temp not working Got continuity though the stat any ideas

is there a way to not have to keep doing this to the appliance? cheers

Can you help with my dyer it’s not getting hot

Just done this after not getting any heat & replacing the element (was obviously broken) Now getting too hot and glowing red & smells like an electrical fire waiting to happen. Thermostat problem?

Hi, I reset the heating element thermostat and heard the click which worked. But now it’s broke again, is this fix a one time thing or can it be done multiple times. I tried to make it click again and it’s not clicking. Thank you

Mine has 4 of those plugs but no hole, any clues?

Just had a look at mine but there are no holes to put a drill bit into

Is this a solution or merely a bypass? Wondering what the risks are?

I opened mine but no hole for the reset button… just a blue disc what do I do ?

I tried to press the thermostate but no click felt and red switch not moving at all

I’ve unscrewed every screw I can find but the tin foil panel just won’t move. Help!!!!!!

It didn't work for me 😢, but applause for the video. Mine heats up, then gets cold. After I wait 1 hour start again it heats up again and after 20 minutes it becomes cold again. Any idea?

Hello is this the same for a vented dryer?

I tried this and it was making a weird smell does that mean something els is fucked
