changing a capacitor on hoover vision tumble dryer

How do you access it. Looks like the vision has one complete shell not a side panel. Usually I work it out but this has got me.

    The video showing how to dismantle and access the motor, capacitor, belt or tensioners can be seen at: How to Replace Tumble Dryer Jockey Wheels (Hoover): http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/9/3073

  • You can gain access to the capacitor through the front ! Remove the lower panel ! There are 2 screws holding a cover over the front of the fan on the lower right side ( remove ) ! There is a white ring In front of the fan pull it towards you and remove. Remove the nut and fan washer from the fan shaft. You will notice the top half of the fan housing will slide towards you and move up and away from the lower half. You then need to give the fan housing a quarter turn clockwise and remove it ( this bit is tight but it can be done with a it of manipulation ) hey presto you will just have enough room to change the capacitor through the fan vent. Just ask the expert engineer 😇 By Stephen Murray - Durham - 13 June 2015

    Sorry but you have already worked it out. Unfortunately to access the capacitor you have to remove top, front drum support belt and drum from the machine (unless you are a contortionist). We hope to do a video on this shortly.
