Siemens dryer not heating/drying

[tanky1]

Hi
I was hoping I could get some advice help for the following condenser dryer.
Model: WTXL733CGB/05

After selecting the cycle, I’ve noticed that the machine can run for a long time without really drying the clothes. It seems to be removing a small amount of water.

The machine has also intermittently stopped and started to bleep whilst the light flashes on drying.

Is it just the thermostat? Or heater? How is it possible to check?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Most likely first place to look for sure but needs a good deal of surgery to access and good electrical knowledge. So if you’re up for it, unplug it first then start at the back of the dryer. If you’re not then I seriously advise you to seek local help as cock- ups are costly to put right afterwards. 😉

Thanks Martin……once the back is off, how do I check the thermostat?

The fact you ask the question leads me to conclude you have no electrical knowledge whatsoever. Giving advice on forums assumes the person asking for it has sufficient knowledge to carry out repairs safely and effectively. Therefore I think my advice be to seek expert help and for your convenience do please click HERE 🙂
