Re: Bosch Classixx tumble dryer not heating up
wonderful..!! while the back is off… is there anything else I should replace as a service ? I have found a collection of fluff in there which I have removed which showed signs of burn marks… so Ive cleaned that out… is the belt easily replaceable or worth doing while I have the back off, or the bearings?
Re: Bosch Classixx tumble dryer not heating up
Thankyou Martin.. !! Does what I describe make sense? The outer casing seems to have continuity but when I go to the terminals there is no continuity which I think would suggest that the inner core has failed?
Re: Bosch Classixx tumble dryer not heating up
Hi, Thanks
Ive exposed the element.. and have found that there is no continuity at the terminals… there is continuity on the body of the element… but at the terminal there is none, which is why i am wondering if the element has an inner core which may have broken resulting in there being no continuity at the terminalsRe: Bosch Classixx tumble dryer not heating up
I have got the dryer out and done some more digging…..
I have exposed the heater element, and have tested continuity. I have continuity on outer casing of the element. I don’t have continuity on the terminals of the element. I have tried to upload pictures of what I mean but they are too big so will describe as best I can.
As the element passing through the metal framing, the terminals where the 2 plugs plug onto – they do not have continuity. If i put my meter onto the element side of the framing then I do have continuity across the outer casing.. so is there an inner working to the element which could have broken down?
Re: Bosch Classixx tumble dryer not heating up
Thanks Kalibart.
As the tumble dryer is tucked away it was a bit of a task to get behind it and look at my multimeter, so I didn’t check the ohms readings, I just listened for the continuity beep. I don’t have continuity between the two terminals of the heater element, I didn’t get a beep. Should there be continuity between the two terminals of the heater element? (Im assuming that its the 2 terminals of the heater element. They are around central on the back of the tumble dryer and between the thermostats.
