Heat, rotation and programme completion
Say whether the drum moved, the programme ended early or laundry remained damp. Record the selected dryness level and warning already observed. A moving drum does not establish that heating works, while warmth alone does not show that moisture is being removed. Do not keep running a hot-smelling or electrically tripping dryer.
Use only the care for this design
A vent hose, water container and heat-pump filter are not interchangeable arrangements. Describe the type, tank or drain connection and any filter indicator. Consult the exact manual for accessible routine care; do not remove internal covers or wash a component using another model's instructions. Stacking and a confined cupboard should be mentioned without moving the dryer.
Check manufacturer safety information first
Hotpoint maintains an official safety-notice route for model checks. Use its current instructions if your dryer is affected; do not assume an ordinary independent repair clears a recall requirement. Send model and serial/service information from paperwork or a safely reachable label, and mention any previous modification already documented.

Hotpoint tumble dryer repair questions
Does this guide confirm my dryer is outside a recall?
No. Check the exact model through Hotpoint's official safety-notice service. Follow manufacturer instructions for an affected appliance before arranging unrelated repair work.
What is included in the fixed repair call-out?
For a Central London service address, the standard freestanding call-out is £90 plus parts. Integrated appliances of any brand start from £120 plus parts in Central London. Outside Central London, fixed call-out charges start from £75, depending on your appliance's make and model and whether it is freestanding, integrated or another appliance type.
