Re: Heater elememt Whirlpool AWG210/7

Penguin, I’ve checked all measurements again so pretty confident that their correct so I’ll get a heater element ordered, at £15 its a bargain, first thing wrong in about 18 years so can’t complain.

Again thanks for all your time and advise.

Re: Heater elememt Whirlpool AWG210/7

Thanks yet again, I found the little red switch when pulling the machine out, measured this and again 0.3 ohm. I have disconnected the thermostat where it connects on to the heater terminal and measured between this and the live terminal, with the timer OFF I get open circuit, with it set I get about 1.2 ohm. I am not sure how the timer works so not sure if this is what is supposed to happen.
By the way when everything is connected and the power ON (fingers out of the way) the motor turns whenever the timer is set.

Thanks again for your time

Penguin thanks for the quick reply.

After powering off of course, the heater plate thermostat measures 0.3 ohm, the exhaust one also measures 0.3 ohm, the test leads on my meter also read 0.3 ohm. So both looking short circuit guess this good ??

Thanks in advance for any time taken to reply.
