So, the stats arent available separately from elux cos they want you to replace the whole heater unit. Yummy profit for them, and a 50/50 writeoff issue for us lot.
So, if you happen to come across any stats from other machines that identically match stats on the element post the part no of the stats, PNC and model of the lux/zan/aeg/triben dryer and let us all get that extra repair in.
PS yes i know they are riveted in but that they arent that difficult to replace.

On many models of Heater assembly the t/stats are rivetted onto mica insulation linings making such a task almost impossible. Coupled with the fact that the values of those t/stats vary widely and are difficult to identify. On the rare occasion they fail the element by then is well stuffed, at least that’s my experience anyway!

by truly stuffed do you mean resistance wise or well and truly cooked, cos so far i havent had a single cooked element hence asking 🙂 maybe the customers round here are just dippy blondes who are persistant door openers.

On the earlier vented types one side of the dual element breaks and on condensers they short out due to water damage usually. Overall the cycling stats and auto-resetting TOC’s are pretty resilient but when the latter fails the state of the element is far from ideal and best replaced anyway.
As for the ‘dippy blond syndrome’ most are not aware of their misgivings until the element goes open circuit or, in the case of condenser, gets damp and trips the RCD. But, as I said earlier, that’s just my experience so far.

Just noticed this is a STICKY….?? 😕
Does it need to be?
