Beko DRCS76W element not heating

[Aceofhearts]

Hi,

My Beko has stopped heating the element. I’ve since fitted a new one because only 2 of the 4 were previously working but don’t appear to be getting voltage to the element. Is the heating controlled by the PCB? The dryer runs OK just getting no heat. The front thermostat is OK.

I’ve visually inspected the PCB and tested all the diodes and resistors but no luck.

Any advice to help me understand how it’s ran is appreciated.

Thanks

3 points I can think of

1 unless you select a timed programme some dryer wont heat and some wont heat on the timed prog either. machine will be looking for dampness (energy saving )

2 you say only 2 element were working. I assume from that you tried it with the back off. you cant rely on that test as the elements only glow due to lack of airflow and the top elements will glow hotter

3 its the relays on the board that switch the elements on and they can fail
