Hoover VHC 681B Condenser Tumble Dryer Cycle Doesn’t Start

I will try and help with this problem about Hoover VHC 681B Condenser Tumble Dryer,

Hi Kate, yes, I can help you with your Hoover VHC 681B condensing tumble dryer. It's good to hear that the heating system is working. The humming noise you mentioned is likely due to a faulty capacitor on the motor.

I have shared a link for spare parts above, but there's a catch. This machine uses different types of capacitors depending on the motor fitted. So, you'll need to open up the machine first to identify the correct part.

The humming noise happens because the weak capacitor can't start the motor. There's a detailed video below showing how to access the dryer. It's a good idea to remove the drum when doing this so you can clean out all the dust inside.

If you're not comfortable with mechanical tasks, it's best to get someone else to help, as this job requires stripping down much of the machine.

I hope this information helps you. Once you know the size of the capacitor (marked in UF on its side), I can guide you on ordering a spare part. Good luck with your repair!
