Error codes related to this part
Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E15 | Candy | Means a heating circuit fault, or water accumulation in the base tray triggering a safety sensor, which stops the dryer heating. It is usually caused by a failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked water drainage system. | High |
| E2 | Candy | Means a thermal fuse or heating circuit failure from overheating, with some models triggering it when run empty above the temperature limit. It is usually caused by a faulty thermostat, a broken heating element, or a blocked filter. | High |
| E21 | Candy | Means a heating system failure that has stopped the dryer heating and shut it down for safety. It is usually caused by a tripped safety thermostat, a broken heating element, or a faulty NTC sensor. | High |
| E5 | Candy | Means a heating failure, where the dryer detects that the air is not heating properly and stops the cycle for safety. It is usually caused by a faulty NTC temperature sensor, a damaged heating element, or a malfunctioning control board. | High |
| E15 | Hoover | Means a heating system failure or a water leak in the base triggering the flood sensor. It is usually caused by a faulty element, a faulty thermostat, or a leak reaching the flood sensor. | High |
| E8 | Hoover | Means a heating circuit fault or the thermal cut-out fuse has tripped due to overheating. It is usually caused by restricted airflow from blocked filters, a clogged condenser, or a faulty heating element. | High |

More Details
This is a genuine tumble dryer heater element. It’s at the back of your dryer’s housing. Has 3 wires in a harness so you can connect it to your dryer’s control system.
The heater element produces the heat circulated in the drying chamber. This heat evaporates moisture from your damp laundry including shirts, towels, and other items inside the dryer.
Although the dryer will continue to spin and finish the cycle, it’s not hot enough to help in drying your clothes if the heating element isn't functioning properly. Replace it with this new heater element.
This heater element is from Hoover but also fits select models of Candy and Maytag tumble dryers.
Before ordering, please verify that this part is suitable for your model using our compatibility checker.

Just the job - arrived quickly and installed
The dryer stopped working properly, rather than throwing it way - ordered HOOVER TUMBLE DRYER HEATER ELEMENT 3 WIRES from Ransoms Spares. Checked compatibility with model number, nearly ordered the wrong part so good reassurance. Keenly priced and quick delivery. Installed as soon as it arrived and all working again - Thanks. We do buy a lot of spares from this company rather than other spares companies, who know who!

Perfect replacement part
I had an error E15 on my Hoover dryer. It was working fine but no hot air. This part was quite easy to fit and now works perfectly. Great replacement part and value for money as it saves having to buy a new dryer.
