Thanks for that washtronics 🙂

Regards that bit, is it pretty foolproof? can you put it through the pulley wrong? just about to order the belt.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 541 – Replacing Belt Help Needed

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I didnt want to hear that 😆 surely if i get the silver plate off completely any sharp edges would be in full view no? besides i don’t think they want to fork out any money on an engineer!!

Do you know how it goes around the pulley/motor?

Thank, you will ask them to check that little lot out.

I do believe they have replaced the moulded plug and that made no difference.

Do you know if they haven’t cleaned the Condenser box & area that that could cause it due to moisture/damp build up possibly?

My own stupidity first time round plus being in a rush mainly caused the problem :rolls:

I have since told the better half off since i have now blamed her 😈

Two wires were put back into the incorrect place that was all due to rushing the job as i said.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 541 Condensor Dryer No Heat?

Fixed, now running perfectly 😀

Thanks guys for the advice.

We cannot possibly know just what that is as we cannot see the machine.

A thorough visual check of all of your handiwork followed by a complete test of all components with megger or multimeter is all anyone could suggest.

Possibly time for the cavalry methinks. 😉

Thanks the reply iadom.

It never tripped before i replaced the part so i’m guessing yes it must be something i have done but i’m stuggling to think what as all i did was replace like for like.

Could it possibly be caused by me putting a wrong wire in the incorrect terminal? for example a non insulated spade connector into the wrong stat terminal?

Very puzzling.

Re: Whirlpool AWZ 541 Condensor Dryer No Heat?

Bump!

Firstly, i may have to start a new thread unless that is we/i manage to solve it in this one because i seem to have encountered another problem now 👿

Ok, here’s the deal, i have replaced the element and stats like for like BUT when i turned it on then pressed in the Start switch it tripped the electrics and blown the fuse 😕

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be? i’m stumped because all i did was replace the above mentioned, nothing else.

Any advice MUCH appreciated.

Thank you.

Lee.

They are very easy to fit using the correct crimping tools.

Thank you very much iadom 🙂

p.s my apologies for starting that new thread 😳 just thought i’d maybe get an answer in that one seeing as i never got one in here up until now that is.

Cheers.

Thanks.

Sorry to bump but still after an answer if anyone can tell us plus are they easy to fit ie just crimp?

Would these do? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=34145

I tested the Dryer and it is the Element that’s had it – got one on order.

Thanks.

plug out of course.
and you can also check the heater
most likely to be the thermostats.

Thanks for that, do you happen to know how to take the plate off to access the Element? are they Torx 20 security screws??Managed to get them off now
