    Hi,

    I have a whirlpool AWZ541 condensing dryer that is simply not heating up during the drying cycle. I wondred after reading a post about a bosch condensing dryer with a similar problem if there was any internal “trip” that may have engaged? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

    Hopefuly,

    Generally it’s one of the thermostats on the heater (supplied as a pair) or sometimes the heater itself, less common is the outlet thermostat.

    All of these need checking for continuity, with the power off :zap:

    The thermostats are here: Thermostats
    and the heater here: Heater

    If you’e unsure, please check Repairs@ for an engineer 🙂

    Hi Dave,

    Thermostats checked ok but no continuity through heater. Put probes on spade connectors on heater arms but nothing. Going to order a new one and fit as it does seem this is the problem. Found removal of the heater really tricky though. Is there a knack to doing it as was a really tight fit into the housing?

    Thanks for advice so far,

    Charles

    No, with bolts removed; pull, shake, wiggle, rattle ’til she pops………
