The gas supply has small impurities in them? Sometimes they can get stuck in the small injector holes. Fine needle or pin wiggled in there normally unblock a it. Don't force it through ad with some fine injectors this can increase the diameter of the hole.

Your welcome Hob ignition issue. If there is no spark at the electrode tip Spark plug) then you have an ignition issue typically a trapped ignition lead so it's arcing to earth where it is trapped or been rubbing against a sharp edge. You should be able to light the burner with a match. Should...

Its 20 years since i touched a white knight gas TD, not sure if anyone on here has any more experience than me. so please bare with me as it has been a long time. There are multiple bi metal thermal switches on these,. some are temperature control and some are overheat control.. They should all...

Thermocouple This is a safety device its job is to allow the gas to flow to the burner while it thinks the burner is lit or to shut off the gas when the burner flame goes out, it does this by having part of the thermocouple sat in the flame and being kept hot by the flame. This either works or...

Don't worry about the white sheet behind the fan, these always disentigrate when you remove the fan. I have refitted new fans without these sheets and have never been recalled to them for any issues. You will need a new fan at some point though. When your element starts going within 12 months...

It should spin a bit freely not as much as a bicycle wheel which uses ball bearings. But you have stated previously approximarely 2rpm on the odd occasion. It should spin pretty fast as in you cannot count thr rpms at all every time all of the time.

No. Wd40 is a bodge. It won't last, the wd40 will evaporate away any other lubricant you try will only solve the issue temporarily Fan elements do burn out but based on the information you have given, in your case the element will have burnt out prematurely due to the poor performance from the...

Its my opinion mate, others may have a different view. I am a manufacturers appliance engineer. I don't work on hotpoint, but I have worked on other condenser washers/dryers, eg Panasonic, Lamona I personally would not entertain one.

The reason why you are not offered any help, is because only gas safe registered engineers can work on gas appliances. These are the guys that can answer your question but wont. They pay a lot of money for their registration/license and have to resit their exams every 5 years. Nothing personal...

all condensor dryers clog up with the fluff that gets damp during the condensing phase, this would most likely be your issue It could be the pump blocked up or any of the feeding pipes. Even if you fully strip the appliance down and thoroughly clean it, it will happen again and again Hotpoint...

I work on these regularly. Always the motor assy. They have an internal thermal switch that goes, need to replace the motor itself. So am assuming you are an appliance engineer not a DIY novice. Instructions are for the standard chimney type (not the curved glass ones) the motor comes by...
