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 |

| 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 heater element and thermostat set.
The heater warms the air in the dryer to maintain the correct temperature for drying clothes. The thermostat monitors this temperature and interrupts the cycle if it overheats.
When you replace the old heater, the thermostat might be worn out. So this set comes with a new thermostat.
Check out our video below on how to fit a new one.
This heater and thermostat set is from Hoover but also fits other tumble dryer brands like Candy, Creda, Friac, Iberna, Kelvinator, Neufunk, Ostein, Otsein, Rosieres, Teka, and Zerowatt.
Before ordering, please verify that this part is suitable for your model using our compatibility checker.

Does the job
I have recently fitted this heater element to my Hoover dryer. It works perfectly. The hard part was having to take the front panel and front fan off just to fit the retaining lug into position. The upside of taking the front panel off was finding why my water full light fault. It had popped out of position.

tumble drier heater unit
Your excellent colleague provided confirmation that this was the fault from the symptons I provided. There is a good clip on You Tube as to fitting this part. However I found it helpful to attach a strong length of thread to the nylon fastening plug before removing the old unit . The plug on the replacement can then be readily located and pulled through with pliers.

Compatible with otsein hoover vohc 180
Ordered on Friday, came to Spain on Wednesday. Perfect replacement for Otsein Hoover VOHC 180. Original branded spare. In Spain original costed up to 90 euros and was discontinued of production; i ordered this one, and I checked that is 100 % compatible, as long as it's a 1200 + 1200 resistance and works perfect in my machine. Save your money using original spares!
