    Problem: No heating on drying cycle. No wiring diagram available, anywhere!

    Intial Diagnosis: Main Heating Element kaput.

    Troublshooting: Heating Element, 1950 Watts, Measured resistance about 29 Ohms. Washing cycle OK, heating cold fill water OK, assume heating element ok.

    Search internet, french site suggests thermostat problem.
    Found various, 3?, thermoststs after opening top cover, two with reset buttons, on hot air duct from tub to condenser.
    One nearest to front of machine reset, dryer works until thermostst trips again.

    Question: Is thermostat at fault or is there another root cause ?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    the condenser will be blocked full of fluff, it needs taking off and cleaning

    it could also be the valve to the condenser has failed, a quick continuity test will confirm its function
    its usually the condenser blocked to be honest

    Helo

    Thanks for the advice. Still trying to work out how to take condenser off and in which direction the air flow is .

    Gracias
