Re: Creda TVU1 Tumble Dryer Thermostats
Cheers for the reply. Don’t worry the machine was unplugged when I tested it. :rolls:
The screwdriver definately shows continuity. It can’t have been a live feed as not only was the dryer unplugged, but the thermostat was not even connected to the machine. It’s one of those screwdrivers where you hold one terminal and push the blade of the driver on the other. If the screwdriver lights up, you have a circuit. If not you don’t. As both thermostats lit up I believe that is not the cause of the issue.
I am alswo aware that bypassing thermostats is dangerous if you were to leave them bypassed and carry on using the machine. If you are doing it just to test them for a couple of minutes, then I see no problem with that. Again the element did not heat up.
tbh, I will probably just buy a new machine as anything other than thermostats is beyond my capability and a new element is £50 and I’m not even convinced it’s that.
Re: Creda TVU1 Tumble Dryer Thermostats
ok,
I’ve just checked them with one of those little screwdirvers that lights up as I can’t find my multimeter (my g/f will know where it is when she gets back) and it is showing continuity on both thermostats and the element.
I just tried bypassing both thermostats (which I assume would work) and this did not work either. The heater is also showing continuity, so now I am stumped.
