The drum rotates but gives out no heat. Regards Hockalugy February 5, 2007 at 4:31 pm #203275 MartinParticipant Re: Whirlpool heat problem ? You already have confirmed the heater needs replacing, whenever that model stops heating it’s the element at fault every time. 🙁 A new one can be purchased here and if you need a hand fitting it, then click on the link below for a local engineer. 😉 :zap: Un-plug the machine before fiddling :zap: February 5, 2007 at 5:42 pm #203276 HockalugyParticipant Re: Whirlpool heat problem ? Much appreciated. I’ll have to decide whether to fix it or get a new machine we’ve had it a while now. Regards and thanks.

February 6, 2007 at 8:13 am #203278 HockalugyParticipant Re: Whirlpool heat problem ? There doesn’t appear to be a filter light on this model. There’s only the ‘ON ‘ light. I’ve cleaned out all the fluff and dust I can get to inside the machine and extractor. Regards Author Posts Viewing 5 posts - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
