Re: Beko DCU 8230 No/Low heat
I have just given the dryer a thorough clean through and tested but found its definitely only working at a very low temperature. Would anyone have a suggestion on what I should check to diagnose the issue?
Re: Beko DCU 8230 No/Low heat
On a setting of 200k I get a reading of 23.1
Do you think this looks right or signifies a defective heater?
Re: Beko DCU 8230 No/Low heat
Thanks for your response so it seems the trip is ok.
On the other set I can get no reading of ohms so would you say this suggests a “break” in the element giving no reading. So the heater need to be replaced?
Re: Hotpoint BWD 129 – stuck in cycle
Bought a new heater element and carried out a resistance test to get a reading of 31.5Ω.
The washing machine has now completed a test cycle so fingers crossed we can say this one is resolved 🙂
Thank you very much for your help iadom!!!!.
Re: Hotpoint BWD 129 – stuck in cycle
I’ve carried out a resistance test and didn’t get a reading (it remained on 1), I assume this means the element is blown as its not reading a resistance?
What do you think? 😕
Re: Hotpoint BWD 129 – stuck in cycle
I have taken out the bottom element and visually inspected – no signs of anything obvious. 🙁
I only have a continuity tester at present and found no continuity between the live and neutral terminal, earth and live terminals or neutral and earth terminals.
Do you think the element is dead from these results or should I borrow a multi-meter to carry out a resistance test?
Re: Hotpoint BWD 129 – stuck in cycle
Thanks for replying – Is it a separate heating element for the wash cycle as the tumble dryer is still drying clothes?
To simplify the lighting arrangement it is as follows (sorry if I have caused confusion and thanks for the tip):
Top down right hand side bank of lights
1. Off
2. Flashing
3. Flashing
4. Flashing
