Candy Grand'O Vita GVSH9A2DE80 9Kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer, 14 Programmes, Sensor Dry - White

Product Information

This set of fault codes for many Candy Go models of tumble dryer models including both normally vented and condenser tumble dryers and may relate to any other Candy Hoover produced tumble dryer models. It’s also a concern for safety if the lint filter overflows as it can cause a fire if the machine doesn’t cope with the excess lint. The fluff can make it through to the heating element at the rear which then burns it out. Inspect the control board and wiring

If you’ve tried resetting the dryer and running a regular cycle but it hasn’t worked, take a look at those vents and ducts. You may just need to pull out some clumps of lint!Unfortunately, a thermostat reset will only work if the source of your heating problem is the thermostat itself. But there may be other causes contributing to your dryer under- or overheating that have nothing to do with the thermostat. These fault codes are written for washing machine repairers and not for the general public by Candyand UK Whitegoods, they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a tumble dryer please refer to our basic fault finding guide from this link before you begin.

While you’re pressing the reset button, you can also test whether the coils or other connections within the heating element have broken by using a multimeter. Insufficient continuity means you’ll have to replace the part. The Candy brand has multiple models of tumble dryers to choose from, with the Candy Grand O’Vita model being a popular one.But every appliance encounters problems from time to time. One common complaint for any dryer—including the Candy brand—is that of over- and underheating, for which a reset might do some good. But where exactly is the reset button? The answer to that question is the heating element. The heating element uses metal coils that touch the dryer drum just enough to heat it up but not to overheat it. It’s a bit loud: The claimed 65db noise level isn’t far off the money, but this isn’t a whisper quiet option by any stretch. If you need a near-silent machine then we’d look elsewhere. Give up? Time to call in a professional repair service? Cut out the middle men and deal direct with the technicians to save money and get it done faster.
