Ariston Margherita AWD12 Blowing cold

[helo_75]

the heaters probably faulty then, quick check with a meter to confirm

[helo_75]

actually, are the clothe just a little bit warm>?

it could be a blocked condenser ( the white duct under the fan motor, leading to the drum) it could be an airflow problem

i rarely change elements on these machines

Ok, thanks. Think I’ll get a new machine instead. Had a good run… 7 years without only one-call-out!

Thanks for all the help.

I came back looking for my own picture but it had gone. So here it is again.

Re: Ariston Margherita AWD12 Blowing cold

Does anyone know the rating of the thermal fuse for this model?

Thinking of just buying one and replacing it because it is so cheap, worth a try.

Is it possible to just bypass the thermal fuse by connecting the ends of the cable, just to see if that is the problem? I assume it shouldn’t cause any problems just for testing purposes?

Thanks.
