Re: Dryer in POLAND needs help again!
Just to make sure, I tested the dryer again – unplugged. I pulled the plug and tested the stats and they test good. I definitely have continuity. With the dryer still unplugged (!) I also tested the heating elements. I see four of them, each one reads identical – very low resistance, it reads 3 ohms, but it might actually be 0 since I can’t adjust my meter to 0. I read somewhere that the elements should read a higher resistance. Is this my problem?
Oops, I didn’t mean to imply that I checked resistance with it plugged in. I unplugged it to check for continuity. Yes, I have a low reading on the stats. Thanks for your concern. I will take note of your advice.

Dear Jim and Martin,
The states arrived today. I replaced them both and the dryer seems to be running fine. I’ll know for sure when my wife does a load of laundry. I can’t thank yall enough for your help. Take care, Joe
Re: Need HELP in Poland with dryer!
Thanks for your quick responses and help. The parts have been ordered, and hopefully I’ll put them on correctly. Have a great day!
Re: Need HELP in Poland with dryer!
I went to the store on this site and didn’t see the “…883” stat kit. Did you mean “…583”? ❓
I might be able to find them here, but I would need to know the temp. rating. Not sure it’s worth it. I even tried Germany, but German is way out of my league. 🙁
By the way, yes, it is a condenser type dryer.
As for plumbers, I have never needed to employ one, but I have heard that the UK is crawling with Polish plumbers. 😆
Re: Need HELP in Poland with dryer!
Thanks for the help. I don’t know why the two numbers I posted don’t match up in your documentation. It is definitely WT6010 AND 37686. The serial number is 95100050. As for the burnt bits, there are a total of three wires which were somehow connected. Since one of the stat ‘holes’ was empty, I will assume that someone bypassed the stat instead of replacing it. Stupid huh? Anyway, the info is appreciated. I will post a photo in a couple of hours if possible just in case you’re interested.
Re: Need HELP in Poland with dryer!
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll post the photo as soon as possible.
