    Wrong model number. 😉

    Are you ‘in the trade’ by any chance?

    Has no one ever asked you to register for the Trade Side, there is so much more information and help available to you if you do. 😉

    It could be the motor TOC cutting out and then resetting.

    Does it happen on both sensor and timed drying cycles?

    Are you getting any error messages?

    If you are able to do so, can you test to see if the heating element is drawing any current when the motor cuts out?

    A plug in power monitor is a useful piece of kit, you would be able to see in an instant if the heater was still drawing current at the time the motor cuts out.

    Trade access 😉
