Leaking Hoover VHC 680F Condenser Dryer

Postby doofuschap » Fri Mar 25, 2011 1:27 pm

Hi,

I have a Hoover VHC680F condenser dryer which is less than a year old. It has recently been leaking a lot during drying, its not from the door and I can't make out where it is coming from.

The water collection bottle doesn't get really get as full anymore either. I've checked the condenser which was clean but is there anything else I can check (any easily accessible pipes that may be blocked) before I get someone out?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Have you done all the checks from the handbook to ensure that the condenser and filters are all clear?

Also, if it's in a cold room that can cause this.

The valve assembly underneath that the water container slots into is prone to failure on these. Unplug and tilt it over onto its right hand side ( from front)to check.
