Hi I'm Mat from eSpares.
in this video I'll be showing how to change the drain pump and float assembly
on a Hotpoint, Indesit or Creda condenser tumble dryer.
For this video I'll be using the Hotpoint CTD00P condenser tumble dryer
But the process should be similar for other models in the range.
If your machine isn't heating and if water isn't being collected during a cycle
its highly likely that you have a failed drain pump
First things first: Always unplug the appliance before carrying out any work.
And the next thing I need to do
is to remove the pump cover from the rear of the machine using a flat head screwdriver.
Now before I remove the pump cover
I'm just going to show you the assembly this is the pump assembly.
The reason why I've got the pump assembly instead of just the pump
although you can purchase this on its own is because of these tabs.
This is how it connects to the appliance which you can see here on the machine.
No matter how careful you are these tabs often break
so it's much easier to get the whole assembly.
I'm just going to connect this all together put the actuator
into the float and attach that to the assembly like so.
Put the pump into the housing that just clips into place.
And that's ready to go now I can remove the pump cover using a flat headed screwdriver.
With the pump cover open I can remove these two hoses
and the two electrical connectors connecting to the pump
With electrical connectors of I can now remove the float switch,
again using a flat head screwdriver.
With the float switch disconnected I can now unhooked the assembly
and whilst doing that's just release the wires.
With the old pump out the way I can
refit the float switch into the new pump.
Making sure that the floats actuates the switch which you can see there.
feed the cables through the cable clip so they don't get trapped by the lid.
I can reconnect the electrical connectors to the pump itself.
Close it up and then I can hook it back onto the appliance.
With the assembly in position I can then reconnect the hoses.
With the hose is connected to the drain pump I can then connect them to the back of the appliance.
And then all I have to do is to test the machine.
Drain pumps and other spares and accessories for tumble dryers and other appliances
can be found on the espares.co.uk website.
Thanks for watching.
