There may be one pasted inside the dryer.

I also have the same dryer with a constant beeping while trying! Did as suggestion 4 and then took the back off, cleaned the heater matrix and thermostats, checked the rear draining pipes...so far so good!

3 screws at the back.........lift up back end then push forwards cheers

empty it more often..............check it every hour or so.........dont rely on the light cheers

no timer controls everything turns it off on and controls heat to turn on and off stats are there for temp reading and cycling guess if you want to burn your house down it can be done but why buy the timer

depends on modle number and if vented or condensor cheers

Your dryer should not have water in it unless your washer is not spinning the excess water out of your clothes

Hi David, F14 - A fault with the water heating has occurred* Here is the link for the entire list of fault codes. Error Codes Hotpoint Service Fare. Well.

theres a schematic in each appliance.

if it will not go back in it is normally the seal at the end of the unit pull it back out again and make sure the seal is lying in it groove fully.

only 3 wires on most dryers one is for light other to shut dryer off when opening if plugged in wrong. dryer will run with door open light will stay on when door closed reverse them if that happens some only have 2 wires don't matter on them need whole model# for more info

Try increasing the ampere rating of your breaker or remove other load(i.e. aircon unit, water heater, washing machine etc.) when dryer is connected so as not to overload your breaker that is causing mains to trip. If previously you are using the dryer with the same setup and loads maybe the breaker is the problem.

Not sure if all dryers have a thermostat reset. You can check your model (which might be CTD80 and not CDT80). Usually it can be reset if there is a small hole in the middle of the device where you can insert a tooth pick and press it. Location of thermostats is at the back. Make sure the power chord is unplugged from the wall. See this youtube video. how to replace Hotpoint tumble dryer thermostat

Is it a condenser dryer

push a vacuum cleaner hose into it with the vacuum running

theres a schematic in each appliance. look there, & if your not sure get a service tech so you dont do more damage

DRYER OVERHEATING: Heating Element A defective heating element can make a dryer too hot. If the element partially shorts out, it can produce heat all the time, regardless of whether the dryer is calling for heat. Remove the heating element to inspect it. The coils should not be touching each other or anything else. Other Causes and Conditions Air Flow Problem Dryers need good ventilation to work properly. If the vent is clogged it can make the dryer too hot. Clean all of the vent tubing thoroughly. Cycling Thermostat Although not common, a defective cycling thermostat can make the dryer too hot. The cycling thermostat is supposed to turn on and off the heat to maintain the proper temperature. If the thermostat is defective it may keep the heat on too long. The thermostat is not adjustable or repairable, it must be replaced. Felt Seal Most dryers have a felt seal at the front and rear of the drum to keep the heat inside the drum. If the felt seal is worn away or missing, the dryer may keep heating and make the dryer too hot. This is not common. Blower Wheel A defective blower wheel will not spin properly and will not vent the hot air, making the dryer too hot. Check to see if there is adequate airflow out of the dryer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5NZvY9V5Q GOD IS still GOOD !!!!

you need to replace heating element

Check the circuit breaker for the plug the dryer uses. Open your house power panel and locate the breaker for the dryer. It will be 2 breakers connected together by a metal pin so when one trips it will trip the other. This shuts off 240 volts. Sometimes only one breaker will trip without tripping the other one. This leaves the dryer with 115 volts to work the rest of the machine but won't power the heating element. Replacing the breaker will fix the dryer.
