Candy GVCD101BC Condenser Tumble Dryer Front Felt Filter Needs Replacing

September 03, 2024

Hi. I'm responding from your Youtube message in the comments. Sorry, can't get to wherever the plate is to access the serial number - hence the question.Candy GVCD101BC condenser tumble dryer's front felt filter came away after a few years of use. I guess the adhesive failed, and it ended up in the drum with the washing, now the machine won't run.Getting the dryer into position was an absolute nightmare. I'd have to get a couple of other people involved to get it out again, and it's going to make a hell of a mess. Only the front is visible, the rest is boxed in.So my question is, can I get in through the front alone? On your video, you take the back and top off, but that's a full strip down... I only need to access the front of the drum where this felt filter glues around (already bought one, ready to go). Thanks. Mike.

I will try and help with this problem about Candy GVCD101BC Condenser Tumble Dryer,

Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear about the issue with your Candy tumble dryer. To access the front felt, you'll need to strip the machine down. I've got the workshop manual and wiring diagram to help you. They include exploded views showing the entire process.

You'll need to remove the front panel, marked as 88 in the diagram, and also the inner plastic part. All this is detailed in the workshop manual. I've also added some videos below to guide you. Since Hoover and Candy are the same company, any Hoover videos will be useful too.

If you need parts, there's a link at the top of this page where you can order them. Make sure to use your full model number from the identification plate when ordering, as parts can vary between models.

I hope this helps!
