Re: hotpoint wd440 drying problem

MORNING,sounds as if there is no air circulating,either the filter in the dry manifold is blocked /fan circulation motor is faulty,resistance reading for fan coil should be approx40ohms/fan itself has become jammed/detached from motor. condenser solenoid coil on inlet valve open/short circuit reading should be approx 3.5kohms. getting access to circulation fan means splitting air duct manifold torx 25 if i remember.getting access to the filter is by removing the grey pipe off filter and removing the manifold from the tank,again torx 30 i think.solenoid coil is found on inlet valve but means isolating water supply to valve,and removing valve from the back of the cabinet.the solenoid coil is the one with the grey pipe to it. BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE ABOVE REMOVE PLUGTOP FROM POWER SUPPLY hope this helps.
