Re: Hotpoint BF1620 Heater, where is it?

Ok, the PCB is off, there’s nothing visibly wrong with it. There are a few numbers on it.

on a sticker:
21009787604
ID:4024799 FT04255

On the board:
4303 303 3240.6

and on another sticker
183 00084-1

Is the PCB likely to be the problem? Anything else I should check?

Thanks for all your help!

Cheers,

Tom.

Re: Hotpoint BF1620 Heater, where is it?

Putting the meter across the heater shows about 25 Ohms which equates to a bit over 2Kw so I expect that’s about normal… is it?

I was really hoping it would be broken!

What to check next? Controller? Where does that live?

Cheers,

Re: Hotpoint BF1620 Heater, where is it?

Ok the heater’s off, I see what you mean about the clips….

There’s nothing outwardly/obviously wrong with the heater, is it worth ordering a new one or should I check anything else first?

Cheers,

Tom.

Thanks Jim, you’re a star. 😀 That saved me taking two sides and the back off!! 😳

I’ll have a look, if there’s no chance I’ll call someone who knows what they’re doing.

Cheers,

Tom.
