Hi, our Hoover tv630 tumble dryer won't always start and latch on. We have to keep trying the on button a few times untill it 'catches'. I assume its the main door latch sensor. Anyone else had this?
cheers

You need part number 91201247 which is a relay pcb. Get directly from hoover candy parts dept in their website. 10 minute job to do. Part is just held in place by 2 phillips screws behind front bezel. Accessed by removing chip board wooden lid first.

i had to buy a new little circuit board that does this job.
THIS HAS A RELAY CONTACT ON IT THAT HOLDS THE SWITCH CONTACT IN. I had to hold mine with a piece of selotape until bought new board
Cant remember name of part but its about 6cm x 4cm.
Cost about £11
not easy to change
Have to remove the top
then the front panel timer Knob pulls off
Can be removed without removing whole of front panel if someone holds it away at the top or you wedge it away
Its screwed to tthe crossbar at the top next to the timer.
Hope this helps
