HOTPOINT CTD00 CONDENSOR DRYER

[pedder]

I HAVE A HOTPOINT CTD00 CONDENSOR DRYER THAT SEEMS TO STOP GOING AROUND AFTER 40 -60 MINS,IF I STOP AND OPEN THE DOOR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES THEN IT STARTS AGAIN OK. DOES IT STOP WORKING IF IT GETS TOO HOT.

Open the door check the pin is attached to the door , then with a small screwdriver push the hole in at 12 0clock position does it start.

But did you try to start it with the door open and poke a screwdriver in the hole at the 12 clock position.
