Tumble dryer drum not turning. How to diagnose & replace motor capacitor (Hotpoint/Indesit/Creda)

[@sheffieldashtangayoga1847]

Mate, I seriously owe you a beer or something. Just fixed the tumble dryer for £12 as compared to £100+ to get someone to fix it for me. God bless KZbin and this bloke.

[@Rabi7468]

Hotpoint wanted £119.99 to come and fix my dryer, thanks to this video fixed it myself and it cost me £12.99 😀😀😀😀

Great video - confirmed that the motor cap was indeed broken. Many thanks.

[@abi842]

Thank you so much for this video! Saved me £100’S of £‘s buying a new one! Really appreciated! Bought 8.5uf capacitor from eSpares for £13.

[@Arvak777]

Excellent video! I just tried it with my dryer and it turned out to be the capacitor as well. Thank you!

[@matthewcavanagh4099]

Just run into the same problem me being me I thought it was the belt but I did the quick test to see if it would spin off a push and would you look at that it kept spinning thank god for KZbin and thank you to people such as yourself for making information like this public for all to see

[@matthewcavanagh4099]

[@Paul-oj6fd]

[@IITACKLEBERRYII]

[@Iosubdany]

[@ashleywilcox4907]

[@sarysedrh7937]

Thank you very much You are wonderful

[@nakaburokdk2014]

Awesome video, this is my problem. Part ordered. 8.5uf. One questions the connections 1 red 1 black and the 2 black. Does it matter which "peg" I attach them to?

This is the same as my dryer what capacitor model do I need

[@clint-1725]

What side is it on

[@mansfield1981]

just tried this, drum did not start turning - what now? thanks for video by the way

[@thecajunbritishexperiment.6190]

I replaced mine. Wasn't starting at first. But I gave the drum a push (or a few pushes) and it went. Turned it off, turned it on and it went on it's own.

[@pyrex5371]

So I push hard or just a little push

[@sheffieldashtangayoga1847]

This solved my problem. I found I didn't need to push that hard.

[@pyrex5371]

Sheffield Ashtanga Yoga mine was the belt replaced it today cause fucking indesit couldn’t be bothered

[@grahamemerton7038]

😲😲😲🤦🤦🤦🙈🙈🙈 WOAH! STOP! If anyone is going to to change the capacitor you must safely discharge first or you will get a pretty hefty jolt. If you don't understand how a capacitor works, have the equipment or know how to safely discharge then you should question your competency to carry out this task. Safety first people!

[@necrographical]

This is the third video in a row which overlooks this important safety issue.

[@grahamemerton7038]

@@necrographical agreed. I have been caught out by these in my earlier years as an engineer and it's not just a tickle.....you will only ever do it once.

[@rokketron]

No sound? Bloody annoying 🙄
