Moved you to Trade Technical, 😉

I assume you have made certain the condensor is clear?

Had a timer give a no heat fault on a similar machine. Contacts inside timer were burnt. There was no visible sign on the exterior of the timer.

Have you actually changed the stats, a long shot but the cycling stat could be failing.

Is the High heat switch working, could be only half the element is energising?

Good call, forgot about that. 😳 I have seen that on more than one occasion.

use a temp probe and check the temp on half heat and full heat. Approx 60c on 1/2 and about 100c on full. 😀

I just plug my little digital meter into the wall socket then plug the machine in that and watch the current usage. 8)
