Hotpoint FDEB31010G Heater Connections Query See Photos

[laurenceuk]

Hi,

If I measure this heater from outside of the terminal block I get a good reading. But when I measure it from the plug contacts it indicates an open cct.

On the photos I’ve indicated where the open cct is. Also from the right tag of the plug contacts to the first purple arrow (see closeup in 2nd photo) there is continuity.

The other problem that occurred at the same time was the dispenser did not open. Good cct through coil! I’m assuming at the moment this is due to the heater not operating.

Question? I did not have time to take the motor out to have a closer look (it’s a longish story 🙁 ), can anyone tell me if there is a thermal cut out at this point or is it a duff contact that is accessible for repair when I return?

Thanks
Laurence
