I have a Hotpoint TDC32s condenser dryer. with limited heat.
Having removed the back for inspection ive noticed the heater element only heats up 1 of the 2 elements on low heat setting and 2 of the 4 elements on high heat setting.
Ive bypassed the 2 thermostats and tried operating and finding the same problem.
I then removed the heater assembly and ran the dryer and found all 2 or 4 elements(depending on what heat setting) operate correctly. Then after replacing the heater assembly it operates on half the power as per previous faulty state.
Checking continuity of all 4 elements, they seem ok and measuring the same.
Is there another thermostat hidden somewhere as im lost to as what to try next?????
