Siemens Topline Washer/Dryer

[ramsay2k]

Hello

I have a siemens topline washer dryer (WK61420GB) which seems to be faulty. It washes fine but doesn’t seem to dry as it won’t get hot. I’ve tried checking the thermostat switch as I’ve read it could have popped out but it seems to be in. When I had the top cover off I ran the dryer and the heating element was very hot to begin with but seemed to get cold as the cycle went on.

I’ve tried draining and checking the suds pump as we’ll – anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks

Check bottom condenser hose not blocked? Is the blower fan operating? Water flowing through the condenser? NTC resistance OK is it?

Bottom hose isn’t blocked, drained it today to check. The fan sounds like it’s spinning – am I right in saying its in the back right corner at the top?

How can I tell if water is flowing through the condenser?

Thanks

Bottom condenser hose I refer to NOT the sump hose. Forget about the water fill through condenser for the mo….fan is the bloody great thing back right yes!

Okay, where is the bottom condenser hose?

At the bottom of the condenser. Big black rubber hose, you can’t miss it. 😀

Okay thanks, can I get to it with just the top off? I need to head out just now but I’ll try tomorrow morning – thanks for your help
