Whirlpool Dryer AWZ 121 stopped heating

[yorkshirelad]

Hi I did post here earlier today but for some reason I can’t find the details now.

I have a Whirlpool AWZ 121 which all of a sudden has stopped heating. It doesn’t actually warm up at all. Everything else functions fine but it just doesn’t heat.

Funds are tight and I wondered if anyone could shed any light on the cause, is it likely to be the heating element? And if it is – is it something that I could sort? Is the heating element reasonably priced and is it a cost effective repair?

Many thanks

Yorkshirelad,

You will need an Element Assembly (Part No : 4812 259 38175) cost £34.95. Should be available if you go into “shop@” in the Navigatior Bar

There are three stats on this machine. Two are on the heater assembly and there’s another one on the exhaust ducting. Any one of these can stop it heating. UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

Ah! but all 3 are ‘auto-resetting’ on this machine, it’s sure to be the element open circuit I’m afraid.

Easy to check, UNPLUG THE MACHINE, remove back panel, take the 2 wires off the element lugs and check with a meter for continuity. No reading? no element! (see my previous post)
