I will try and help with your Hotpoint TVHM80CP Vented Tumble Dryer Tumble Dryer problem

 

The first thing you always need to check with tumbled dryers, make sure that all the filters are clean and you have a good airflow to the machine.

 by the look of the exploded diagram, this is a heat pump dryer you will need to make sure that the compressor is running and that you have a circulation of warm air going through the system. Or heat pump tumble dryers they are basically a refrigeration unit working in reverse, it creates Heat inside the drum to evaporate the water in the cloths and then uses the refrigerant to cool the air coming through the condenser to extract the Water.  if the gas is low in the system which is a common problem it will not be creating enough heat to evaporate the water off the clothes these are very complicated tumble dryers and not as energy efficient when you consider the cost.
