Hotpoint TDWSF83BEPUK Condenser Tumble Dryer F19 Error Code

June 11, 2024
Customer Question

Hi Paul, we have a Hotpoint TDWSF83BEPUK condenser tumble dryer, I’m wondering if F19 Error is a heating element on this tumble dryer and if replacing it would resolve the issue. One was wondering if you could advise us on it. It’s probably not rocket science to replace a heating element at the rear. I’m pretty confident I can fix it myself. Just needed to know if you think the error code F19 is an heating element issue. Or know the part number I need to replace it. Thanks James

I will try and help with this problem about Hotpoint TDWSF83BEPUK Condenser Tumble Dryer,

Hi James,

The technical information I have doesn't show the F19 error code. However, if your machine was made by Whirlpool, it could be a fan problem affecting air circulation or a heating fault. A heating fault might not necessarily mean the element is broken; it could be a thermostat issue.

Here's how to test it:

First, locate the heating element and check its wattage, which should be written on it. Use a multimeter to measure the ohms across the element. You can then use an ohms law calculator to see if the element is providing the correct wattage. If the element is fine, you might have a thermostat problem.

Check the thermostats on or around the heating element. There may also be some thermostats at the front of the machine that could be faulty. Ensure you do a continuity check on these thermostats. If they are NTC sensors, you'll need to do an ohms reading check.

I've included a couple of videos below to help you, along with an exploded diagram of your machine. This should guide you in locating the thermostats, though it won't show their exact placement.

If you need more help, feel free to contact me directly using the contact us page. If you need parts for your machine, they will either be shown at the bottom of the page or via a link in the sidebar. Make sure you have your full PNC number as there are different variations of this model to ensure you get the correct parts.

Best regards,
Paul

Additionally, don't forget to watch the maintenance video. Airflow is crucial for these machines. If the fans aren't moving air over the heating element, through the drum, and down through the front filter to the condenser, it can cause issues. Make sure the condenser is clean. A common problem is that these parts can clog up, leading to poor air circulation. This can cause thermostats to cut out early or overheat, resulting in an error.
