Philipos Whirlpool AWG/01- heat suddenly stopped

[windy1]

Machine ran OK for a few minutes then heat stoppped. No difference with cotton or synthetics buttons – still no heat. Drum rotates fine and reverses but cool air blowing only.

Checked red button stat had not tripped and is s/c. Checked exhaust is clear. Checked timer is rotated sufficiently to get past the last cooling period. Checked heater elements: both parts around 50 ohms.

Are there some other thermostats and where can I access them?

BTW – There is a motorised switch mounted on a little bracket at the rear LHS of the cabinet top. What is its function? (motor reverser ?)

Run by that model number again will you please Philipos? 😕

Re: Philipos Whirlpool AWG/01- heat suddenly stopped

Model AWG 220/1
Other numbers on sticky label on rear are 8537 220 15110
and 4213 076 77951. Hope this helps.

BTW, I found another thermostat in the exhaust outlet which tested OK (= short circuit – not tripped)

Having read a few other threads (not for this particular machine), I checked the motor reverses at intervals OK

Chances are the element is duff and you can get one here 😀

If the main t/stat has gone (in the heater cowling) then you need one of these 😀

Martin – thanks for the info. Heaters were OK (see my first post). All 3 thermostats checked out OK as well but I was grateful you told me where they were.

Fault was badly burnt contacts inside the programmer/timer. I managed to dismantle, clean them up and swop one of the contacts with the opposite pair which were hardly worn at all.

On reassembling the nightmare scenario occurred when the top plate securing the timer motor drive detached and all the cogs and levers spewed out. Fortunately, I had taken some piccies as I dismantled it and managed to get it all together again. Without the piccies, forget it!.

BTW, I couldn’t see any spare timer programmers on the links you gave. Is a spare available in case this repair doesn’t last?

They won’t be showing in the shop@ facility as failure is extremely rare.

4819 282 18234 – countdown timer (front)
4819 282 18574 – reversing timer (rear)
