WD440 Blowing dryer elements!

[subs]

This machine was 2 years old when i replaced the dryer heater 7 months ago. Its just gone again. Cust says she only uses dryer couple of times a week. Any ideas why it could be blowing elements?

Thanks

If you lift up the whole heater box not just the top and under where the fan is there is a plastic filter see if its blocked.

Check the heater is not coming into contact with the metal deflector if it is it can cause a hot spot on the element and they blow JJ

Ive had a few of these go within this sort of timeframe, just a rubbish design. Hope you only give a six months guarantee!

yep common problem, just check its not connected to hot and cold, if it should be cold fill only,grey hose with y piece.

Thanks for replies. Ill check out whats been suggested.
I gave 6 months gaurantee on it but you know what its like when its just 1 month out, especially when you get ” Well it actually went a month ago but i just had not got around to calling you until now”.
