ModeratorRe: SMEG SUK62MFX5 cooker with gas stove.
silly idea ? you did disconnect element to read resistance
i prefer to test live no room for error
if element ok you need to know if live or neutral missing could be a chaffed wire that has blown to earth and now is o/c
hope this helps

ModeratorRe: Whirlpool AWO/D 4605
if it was me my next move would be to check for L+N on the door lock or power door lock up seperatly to check operation you can find right terms with multimeter if it is a heater type
also find the live and switch wire to the machine and short out to see if it bursts into life
hope this helps

ModeratorRe: Miele Tumble dryer
yes that is strange i would check harness for chaffed wires may be shorting with vibration
cant understand why not blowing fuse and still welding relay

ModeratorRe: Miele Tumble dryer
you have not said how this contactor has failed
if the heater had shorted i would expect it to blow the fuse and maybe weld the contactor contacts together
if as you describe this is a burn out unless moisture is getting inside vthe contactor than this can only bad electrical connections. cut the wires back far enough to find clean wire and replace with new good quality connectors that are tight any loose conns will get hot and burn out
hope this helps

ModeratorRe: Whirlpool H Duty T/Dryer
i assume you put the right type of fuse in
must be T 6.3a not F 6.3a
have seen other posts about these dryers the top loader autos use the same fuse but in the dryers case i think if you overload it the motor will blow the fuse as it changes direction on start up

long shot
check the agitator these machines the top half of the agitator moves in one directon but is locked in the other by small pawls that wear and allow agitator not to wash properly
test hold top of agitator turn by hand clockwise and anticlockwise should lock in 1 direction cant remember which

ModeratorRe: Whirlpool sensor rear vent dryers awz 3518 no heat
have no knowledge of this machine but an ntc is only a temperature contolled resistor if you substitute various fixed resistors you should get the heators to turn on and off try
http://www2.westfalia.net/shops/electro … e5fc0c7083
this is a decade resistance box so you can switch in various values quickly
it would be nice if you knew the resistance of the ntc at a given temp to help diagnosis but you can measure the in situe while you are switching in and out resistors to turn on and off heater
hope this helps
