White Knight 44aw Tumble Dryer Cold

[tolerant]

Hi there

Got the above dryer and recently it has just started blowing cold air.
I have pressed the red trip button on the back of the unit and it doesnt click or anything.
I have defluffed the interior of the casing and checked all the out pipes and they are all clear.

What can i do to resolve this as cheap as possible please.

Or do i scrap it!!!

Cheers

Neil

It’ll be THIS or THIS or THIS.

Power off when investigating. Make diagrams before removing any wire or panel.

Resistance on heater, continuity on thermostats – should be normally closed.

Re: White Knight 44aw Tumble Dryer Cold

right i tested all of them and the following came up:

Heating element had no resistance or reading at all

Thermo trip switch when doing continuity came back at 017

so can you tell me, is it the heating element???

Please let me know
Cheers
