What This Part Does

The heating element warms the air that is blown through the drum. It has two heating circuits, 1600W and 900W, so the dryer can switch between high and low heat. Two thermostats cut the power if the heater overheats, and the NTC sensor reports the air temperature to the control board so it can manage the drying cycle.

Common Fault Symptoms

• The drum turns but the clothes stay cold or damp.
• The dryer only seems to work on low heat, or drying takes far longer than it used to.
• The dryer trips the electrics when the heat comes on.
• The heater keeps cutting out partway through a cycle.

Repair Difficulty

Moderate: the back panel of the dryer has to be removed to reach the heater housing. The heater, thermostats and sensor come as one assembly, so the connections are simply moved across from the old unit. A multimeter is useful to confirm the old heater has failed.

Typical Tools Required

• Screwdriver set (Torx and Phillips)
• Multimeter for testing continuity

Description

Heaters and their thermostats often fail because fluff builds up and restricts airflow. When you fit the new element, clean the filters, the condenser and the heater housing so the new part is not put under the same strain.
