I think you’re right TBH, nearly all driers run at 60C.

Andy,

It has “L78-10C” written on the side of one, so I guess that means its a 78c Stat that resets at 68c? Earlier similar models in the range I know were rated generally at 75c by the way. 😉

OK Thank you gentlemen for your help, I will probably play it safe and get the gen stat.

If you have an infra red thermometer, you can read the temperature that this stat cuts in and out by pointing the thermometer at the square rating plate that is situated half way up the back panel above the bearing cover.

If you run the machine without any clothes it should start cycling within a few minutes. It’s a good test and it impresses the customer. You can tell by this test if there is a problem with the stat, if there is an air leak on the rear drum seal and if the heater is cutting out on reverse tumbles and on the tumble cool setting. (I normally use a clamp meter on the live or neutral lead to the timer to test heater current at the same time)

I do this test as a matter or course after any repair to to a condenser dryer.

The thermometer I use is available from Connect part number LAS3540 (£16)
