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 before you start.
The interlock mechanism determines the location of the door. The switch or sensor alerts the tumble dryer's control system that it is secure to start the selected cycle once the door is shut and latches.
It prevents the tumble dryer from starting or continuing to operate if the door is not completely closed or secured.
The interlock may be damaged or worn out if you notice that the door of your dryer won't latch shut or lock firmly. If the machine won't start or abruptly stops mid-cycle, the door interlock might be the reason.
This door interlock switch is a genuine Hotpoint tumble dryer replacement part. It also fits Ariston, Creda, Export, Indesit, and Swan tumble dryers.
Part was same as original and came next day- not quite as easy to fit as u-tube shows (had to lower front panel tone able to fit) otherwise no problems .Have used Ransom before again with same good service.
Easy to locate item on website, good price and quick delivery. Item easy to fit after looking up relevant YouTube video.
Delivered promptly and was easy to fit using you tube guide. Outcome perfect, no problems.
Quick delivery. The part looked exactly like the Hotpoint part I was replacing .. 20 mins to fit from start to finish. Works like new. This is the second time I have used Ransomspares and I highly recommend them for price and quality and delivery of product.
The part supplied was 100% the same fit as the original. It fitted perfectly. And I had no screws left over when the job was complete
Does the interlock come with fitting instructions?
Hi Jane, I'm afraid this isn't supplied with fitting instructions.
