Hello, my hotpoint CTD40 tumble dryer has developed a fault. The 'Empty Water' light comes on straight away, stopping the dryer. I have cleaned the filter at the bottom to no evail.. Thankyou

if its not the pin then:

I had a similar issue - its shorting out so not working. To fix the issue you need to remove the back and side panel and get to the water dispenser at the bottom of drier (little gray box) at the back and dry the water out of it and remove any fluff that clogged in there. You may also need to dry (I used a hair drier) the electric coils at the back you will see them when your remove the back panel.

has the plastic pin fallen out of the door ? when the door is closed the plastic pin pushes a pressure pad inside the machine . the pin is fitted inside the door at the top in the middle..
