Does anyone know what is wrong with my condensor dryer?

I have a hotpoint Ultima CDT85A, and it works for a few mins, then stops, then after a few mins it starts again. The 'empty water' light is permanently on, even though it has been emptied.

Can anyone help please?

try settin dial to picture of drum on dial. i think what may have happened is that the water bottle was full it is now held in machine. when u set dial to pump out the water all will be well

hi mate i dont know if its the same as my creda tcr2 but i took out the pump and the rubber propeller which feeds water to the container had broken off . it sits on the spindel of the motor glued it back on as a temp and trying to look where to buy just the propeller but as yet no luck looks like a whole unit about £30 my creda is working fine at this time takes about 15 minutes to do if your pump housing is on the back in clear site and like mine there are plastic lugs keeping it in place you just got to use a screwdriver and prize the unit toward you .hope its the same prob as mine this will get you going again .baz
