Hoover HNWL6136S : low dryer heat?

[trusted]

Just been looking at a Hoover HNWL6136S.

The fault was no dryer heat.

I reset the L/H heater TOC and tested. I got some heat but it only used 4.9 amps. I took the wires off both elements and they were both closed circuit.

Is 4.9 amps correct ?

All help appreciated.

that would be about 1.1kw then, was the wattage of the element marked on it ?

That’s about what I would expect as washer driers are condeser driers and only use low wattage as they recirculate air..

Sorry but I didn’t open up the dryer housing, so I can’t tell you.

Side issue, did you check for blockages in condenser ducting and blower motor? if these are blocked the TOC will trip again due to poor air flow.

On high heat tumble dryer with fan, valve, heaters and pump running you should have a reading of 6.04amps (low heat = 3.80amps)

Check your email….. 😉

Thankyou Martin very much. That will help me if I get a recall.
