    Why won't my Hotpoint TCL780 Dryer start?

      Your Hotpoint Dryer might not start due to several reasons: * The plug may not be properly inserted into the socket or is not making good contact. Try plugging another appliance into the same socket to test it. * There may be a power failure. * The fuse might have blown. * If you're using an extension cord, try plugging the dryer's power cord directly into the socket. * The door might not be closed securely. * The PROGRAMMES knob may not be set correctly. * The START/PAUSE button might not have been pressed.

      If the empty water light is flashing on your Hotpoint Dryer, it likely means the water container wasn't emptied before starting the drying program. To prevent this, always check and empty the container before starting a new drying program.

    Why is my Hotpoint TCL780 Dryer taking so long to dry?

      anthonymcbrideAug 10, 2025
      Several factors can cause your Hotpoint Dryer to take longer than expected to dry clothes: * The filter may need cleaning. * The water container might need emptying. * The condenser could need cleaning. * The temperature setting may not be appropriate for the fabric you're drying. * The drying time selected may not be sufficient for the load. * The air intake grille or rear vents might be obstructed. * The items being dried may have been too wet to begin with. * The dryer may have been overloaded.

      Michael WolfAug 25, 2025
      If the OPTION lights and the START/PAUSE light are flashing together with the START/PAUSE light on your Hotpoint Dryer, turn off the dryer and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser. Then, replace the plug, turn the dryer on, and start another program.
