Re: Advice on replacing a Hotpoint DWM55 Heating Element

Thanks helo_75, that’s what I was looking for.

“How do you know it’s the heater if you don’t have a clue where it is?”
The error lights (Fast/40 and Delicate/50) start to flash a few minutes into a cycle. This happens every time since something blew the MCB for the downstairs sockets and tripped the RCD earlier today. I figured the error lights and the MCB going out the way it did made the heater likely culprit.

Granted I’ve not taken it out and verified, but I’m short of time for the next few days and wanted to get this sorted so yes I am taking a risk and if it’s not the heater I’m GBP 40 down for rushing.

iadom mentioned the PCB. Any view on how this would typically fail?

Thanks.
