Hoover Wash & Dry 500 drying cycle not working

[bramish]

I ran a low heat cycle and it spins and runs longer than usual (3h+) but the clothes are cold and wet after. Tried repeating cycle but nothing changed. Lint filter is clean. What else could I try?

You could try it on differnt heat levels for a short period to se if it is an element or control problem, but at a guess it will probably be a failed element or thermostat. How competant are you at investigating yourself? Do you have a multi meter?

I'll always try myself first if I'm able and I've fixed other little issues with it before after Internet research but I'm no expert. Don't have a multi meter

Bought a multimeter and had the back off to check a few things so now know:

- Doesn't heat water either when on wash cycle
- Heating element is fine
- Thermistor/NTC sensor is fine
- No obvious visual issues with wiring/connections

Do you have a multi meter?

A plug in energy monitor, can provide quick, less invasive diagnostics.
