Hotpoint thumble dryer thermostate issue

[csavarka]

I have a hotpoint TDWSF 83B EP thumble dryer with a fault code F04.
I have check online and i found that is a thermostat issue.
So I have taken apart and tried to test the thermostat the NFC is works fine but the other one the stats I have tested resistance but nothing happens not even for the continuity.
So any other way to test or how I need to test correctly?
Finally where I can buy new if that one is not good ?

Regards Tamas

This is a Whirlpool dryer rebadged as Hotpoint. The parts diagrams for these are not very clear but it appears that the heater and thermostats come as a complete assembly, list price £83.50. 🙁

There is also another ntc that appears to be located in the front fan housing.

Re: Hotpoint thumble dryer thermostate issue

Not familiar with this Whirlpool dryer, where is this thermostat located, is it near the heating element. Fitting a stat of a different rating or a resettable one is not a wise thing to do.

If it is a thermostat and not an ntc then a simple continuity test is all that is required.
