Hi Iadom thanks for the info.
Checked the stat inside the door that seems to be o.k 0.9 ohms can you tell me if I am reading it right.
What should the heater read when testing it. Three wires coming out of the heater, should you test outside to outside or middle to outside and what should they read.
With the timer how do you check that? you said it could possibly be that.
Totally out of knowing what to do now, normally i have come on this site and you guys have come up trumps with what is wrong.
Just a thought, is there a fuse that could have blown, apart from the stats to stop the heater from working.

Thanks

Hi all back again.

Taken side of where the condenser is correct what a PITA to get at the part in question, so replaced and took off the other side where the motor is to get a better view.

Saw the top of the float where the float wire comes out and moved it up and down, it doesn’t seem to be stuck and with power moving the wire on top of the float up and down, the micro switch works turning the empty light on and off.

Checking Heater three wires going in Brown at the top, Orange middle and blue bottom how do you check for continuity with the multimeter, I have done this correct me if I am wrong.

Brown to Blue 83 ohms, Blue to Orange 41.8 ohms, Orange to Brown 41.8 ohms on the lowest setting.

Re- measured the new stats 0.9 ohms on lowest setting.

What is stopping this machine from HEATING up…….. HELP I am I running out of options .

Thanks all for all your input.

Thanks for coming back Dave.
Is the float in the pump chamber easily accessible and not a sealed unit, and what would cause it to stick.
Would the stat above the inside of the door also cause it not to heat up.
So many questions, iam not a defeatist trying to get it fixed.
Other suggestions from other engineers would be much appreciated also, With other engineers not coming back is the problem bigger than it is.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for coming back with that info. What I shall do is buy a new set of stats from UK whitegoods, and go from there and let you know. One thing is I don’t give up . Thanks again.

Help and advice still needed from the experts. Have re-checked the stats at the back of the machine with the multimeter and they read 1.1, ohm setting of 200. When touching the probes together to check them they read 1.1 ohm is that correct for the stats to be Good. When checking the heater element how do you check that , with the wires being….. blue /orange/ and brown. Have done a visual check and it seems o.k. There is still the Drying light on the front of the machine not working, is that something to do with this problem as it was working before. Everything else works but no heat in the dryer.
Regards Valleyboy

Thankx for the advice that you all have given. Have re-checked the stats three of them and the heater for continuity, all seem o.k zero on the meter. Still no drying light, have done what you advised and tried the machine for 15/20mins to see if light comes on and no joy. What else can I check. Are there any other cut outs or fuses. Would the Drying Relay cause a problem, I replaced that a few years a ago not sure what to do next. Thankx

One thing I didn’t mention to double check, should the stats be convex or concave if they are o.k. Regards

[Valleyboy22]

Iadom Just found a third stat inside the door, could this cause the problem of no heat, what does this stat do. Have checked the rear stats for continuity and they seem o.k, one thing the drying light on the front facia doesn’t come on when you switch it on, is part of the same fault. Sorry for so many questions.

[Valleyboy22]

iadom thanks for replying, what should I be looking for in a reading on the stats. Have had the stats out, if one or both have failed can you you see on the stats as well. If the heater has gone what should the reading be on the meter, and can you check it in situ. Thanks
