General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your tumble dryer.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains and discharge the capacitor before you start.
This is a genuine 9.5 uF capacitor for your tumble dryer.
Gives your dryer the extra push it needs to start up smoothly—helping the motor kick into gear without straining. It supports consistent, efficient performance throughout every drying cycle.
Over time, capacitors can wear out or lose effectiveness. If your dryer is slow to start, won’t run, or seems to be struggling mid-cycle, this part could be to blame. Replace it with this part.
This tumble dryer capacitor is from Hotpoint. It also fits Ariston, Creda, Indesit, and Swan models.
Before ordering, please verify with our compatibility checker that this part is suitable for your model.
Easy to fit, works fine so far, 2 weeks later. For Indesit dryer. The dryer had 4 wires and had terminal splitters for connection to the 2 terminal capacitor.
My tumble dryer failed to start. Found the capacitor at fault. Oreded one and it came quickly. I fitted it straight away and works perfectly. Will use this store again.
