Hi
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Have a Hoover VHV781C vented dryer. It's displaying an E15 error code which indicates an issue with overheat and the cut outs (has green dot on top).
Machine will run for a few mins then stop and display E15.
At the back on the top of the heater unit there is what looks like a stat and a cut out. Both read closed circuit unit the machine stops. The cut out then reads o/c unit it cools down. It clicks then reads closed again.
So, I'm assuming that the stat has died closed and when the machine overheats as a last resort the cut out kicks in and it throws the error code.
However, I've been reading somewhere about a one shot front TOC that may be fitted to this machine. Can't see from the top where it is, can't see it as a spare anywhere. So guessing this is a red herring ?
In which case changing the stat seems the right way to go, can anyone knowledgeable confirm ?
Many thanks
