Washer-dryer fails to start drying cycle; E10 displayed

Safety: Unplug the appliance. Dryer components can remain hot after use; allow to cool fully.

• Access dryer heater: On many Hoover washer-dryer combos, the dryer heater is located at the rear or top. Remove the top or rear panel as required.
• Check thermal cut-outs: Locate the thermal cut-out thermostats on or near the dryer heater housing. Test for continuity with a multimeter. A tripped/open TCO must be replaced; do not bypass it.
• Test dryer element: Disconnect the heater terminals and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
• Inspect NTC sensor: Locate the dryer temperature sensor (NTC) in the air duct. Measure its resistance at room temperature and compare to Hoover specs. Replace if out of range.
• Clean lint paths: Excess lint can cause overheating and TCO failure. Clean the internal air ducts, fan housing, and condenser (if fitted) to restore airflow.
• Replace faulty parts: Install a new dryer heater, TCO, or NTC as required. Ensure all wiring is correctly routed and secured away from hot surfaces.
