Hi, mate! Thank your for that info - sorry it's taken so long to reply. I haven't got round to re-testing but out of curiosity, I wanted to look at the pump. When I opened the grey plastic cover on the bottom right of the dryer, the little chamber that the pump/float sit inside was about...

Ha ha I assumed it would be OK but got paranoid. So, do you reckon it's a dodgy thermistor causing this? Do you still need me to re-test both thermistors on heat but lowering the range on the multimeter every time the reading gets to 0.00? what should I look out for to tell if they're...

Hi, I re-tested as you said. The White thermistor only gives a reading when the multimeter is set to 20m Ohms. Every other range reads "1". At room temperature it read 0.58 - I re-heated it and once again, it went over two minutes and still never cut-out. It still read 0.01 but began to...

Sorry, just realised a mistake. The two black thermostats were tested at 200 Ohms (not 20)

Hello again, I noticed that on my old heater, the thermostat colours were as previously mentioned in my earlier posts, however, on the new one, the thermostat on the right (previously just plain black) now has a yellow dot on it. Does this mean it's the wrong one? I gave all my details to...

Hi Yardie, I wasn't brave enough to try it out on the appliance so I practised on the old "faulty" heater element which has the original thermostats plus what I've been told, a thermistor. This was just out of curiosity - I'll give it a go tomorrow on the one currently on the dryer. The...

Cheers, mate! When I tested the thermostats, I used the continuity setting on the multimeter - should I have been using ohms then? Also, can you clarify...Should I also physically remove them to re-test or is ok just to disconnect the wires to them? Sorry if I'm being thick...

Hi, First time posting here so apologies if I've got anything wrong in terms of forum etiquette. I also apologise for the long post - I just want to be thorough. In November last year, my condenser dryer stopped working. It threw up error codes f-08 and occasionally f-10 on the LCD...
