Siemens tumble dryer problem

[folleyball]

Hi my sister has a Siemens tumble dryer that will only work if you keep your finger on the start button. As soon as you take it off it stops.

I can't seem to find a relay on this machine. Will it be a Faulty start button.

The machine is about 10 years old and thankfully there is no fancy circuit boards on it!

If you post the model number you may be able to get specific help, normally tumble dryers have relays on to switch the circuitry. If I remember on some siemens it is in the base.

The model is a Siemens Extraklasse 610 - Tumble dryer

WT6100VGB/11

Been a while since I seen one but here goes

The relay is in the base on the right hand side as you look at the front I think it was marked Eberle and grey in colour.

This may help but Siemens dont list the part as available
