My Hotpoint dryer will not dry clothes. It will run for hours and the clothes feel as damp as when they were put in. Any suggestions on a solution?

2.fan or it's pulley loose on shaft---tighten set screw
3.incorrect heat or timer settings---reset timer

This is more a workaround than a solution. When you choose the washing programme (say "D") and push the on/off button, two lights will flash, the "door locked" and the "drying" one. Now turn the "drying programme" button until the "drying" light stops flashing (in my case, this is true when I set the drying programme to 40°C). Then start the washing mashine.
Seems like the function of the drying programme button has shifted against the settings written on the button...don't ask me why! Of course, no guarantee but works for me. Please let me know if it does for you.
Filter blocked, disconnect hose from under sink connection and drain into bucket. Hotpoint does not want you to change filter, contact Service Engineer.
