Hoover DNC D91B-80 Condenser Tumble Dryer Reluctant to Start Without a Push Then Fine

Hi John,

Thank you for sending the information through regarding your Hoover DNC D91B-80 Condenser Tumble Dryer. Hoover tumble dryers can be particularly difficult when it comes to identifying the correct capacitor, as the manufacturer often supplies the capacitor only as part of the complete motor assembly.

The surest route is to strip the machine down and inspect the capacitor beside the motor. On some models, this may mean removing the drum to gain proper access. The capacitor’s casing should carry a value marked in µF, followed by a number, which will reveal its size.

I have included a link to the size you suggested, but I cannot confirm it with complete certainty. Please check your existing capacitor before ordering, as a restocking charge may apply if the incorrect part is purchased.

Another possibility is to search for images of the complete motor online. Some suppliers show the capacitor in their photographs, and its µF rating may be visible.

I am sorry I cannot be more precise. I have attached a video and several PDFs to help you identify the correct part number. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

All the best,  
Paul.
