Thanks I don't think I ever had one.
It's been working fine and started dumping water again at end of dryer cycle, surely the inlet valve can't have failed already? Back to drying with the water switched off for now.
Update, replaced valve and all sorted. Working better than it has for years, must of been slowly filling and increasing over time which was hindering drying.
Re wire mesh there was none on replacement part and don't think there ever was, must of been looking at another model on youtube.
Thanks, I ran it with the water off and it dried a lot quicker than it has for years. This is leading me to think the inlet valve has been slowly failing for some time.
I'll drop this in tomorrow but is this likely to be an issue given there's no other issue when draining other than drying?
Hotpoint (RD1076JDUKN)
Runs fine on all wash settings and spin / drain.
When I run a dry cycle on its own, or immediately following a wash, the clothes come out still wet (well more wet than after end of a wash cycle) and hot due to water being dumped in part way through wash.
The appliance...
