Hi,

The above machine no longer seems to have heat on the drying cycle.

Is this likely to be the element & if so are they easy to replace, & best place to buy from?

All help much apprecited.

no it will be a stat

a stat will go if the fan doesnt work or heater is blocked
 
Cheers Breezer,

Is it possible to reset them/it or do you need new ones?

Is this easy to do?

Thanks again
 
If you take the lid off the machine you will see the thermostat / TOC devices, small cylindrical or cube shaped components with 2 spade terminals, mounted on the heater housing on top of the drum. An easy way to check which one has failed is to join the 2 wires together from one, check if the machine is now heating, if not, repeat this check for the next. Obviously you make sure the machine is unplugged before touching any wires. Also check if the fan is going.

Just done one of these the wiring loom was so tight that the wires to the elements had snapped off of the spade connectors. I had to extend and re route the wires.
