Hi there

Got the above dryer and recently it has just started blowing cold air.
I have pressed the red trip button on the back of the unit and it doesnt click or anything.
I have defluffed the interior of the casing and checked all the out pipes and they are all clear.

What can i do to resolve this as cheap as possible please.

Or do i scrap it!!!

Cheers

Neil

It’ll be THIS or THIS or THIS.

Power off when investigating. Make diagrams before removing any wire or panel.

Resistance on heater, continuity on thermostats – should be normally closed.

Re: White Knight 44aw Tumble Dryer Cold

right i tested all of them and the following came up:

Heating element had no resistance or reading at all

Thermo trip switch when doing continuity came back at 017

Please let me know
Cheers
