Bosch WTA4107GB/01 tumble drier not getting hot

[nre]

Hi all,

It’s not unknown (happened 2 or 3 times) for my wife to trip out the cut off switch inside the rear cover due to forgetting to clean the fluff filter, or interupting mid cycle. Naughty! Well this time that it’s stopped getting hot, the reset switch has made no difference (and I didn’t feel it click like it has done before). Does that mean it’s the element that’s gone, or are there other potential culprits? Will the ‘mis-use’ have led to the failure?

Ta for the help.

Any ideas folks? Some pointers for diagnosing the problem would be helpful.

Thanks!

You will need to check the heater for resistance to see what the reading is . A simple multimeter will do the job – if its open circuit then theres your fault – POWER OFF IF YOU’RE GOING TO CHECK

OK, tested the element, and it’s open circuit, so need a new one…
