Hi I have a hoover tumble dryer which stopped heating. It still blew cold
air. It was the overload/overheat protection device that failed(do not know the exact name for it but it was open circuit) I have been told that the reason it failed was because I use a vent hose out of the window and because the tumble dryer has to push the air through a 90 degree bend then up 6 feet then through a window and then pointing down through about 150 degrees this is why it failed. Also it was very windy when it packed up. I have been advised to cut a hole through the wall and vent straight out so that there are no bends in the vent hose. Before I start drilling through the wall is this advice correct or is the repairman talking a load of rubbish? Thanks Jackie |
