How to test a tumble dryer that is not heating and change a thermostat that is faulty
Your tumble dryer is not heating? Could Be One Of The Following:
If you have a Tumble Dryer that is not heating up but the drum is turning ok, then the chances are the thermal overload cut-out has tripped or the heater might have blown. Some older dryers have a red reset button on the back of the casing, just press the reset until you feel it click and you should have heat again white knight, creda and some other makes have this. Neff, Bosch dryers have a reset button but you will have to remove the heater cover panel to access it, you will find it just above the heating element (a black stat with small red button) simply press the red button and if it clicks you've fixed it or you can test it as in the video.

Running costs are one of the most important things. During our tests we use an electricity meter to measure how much power the tumble dryer consumed. This lets us work out our own cost-per-cycle, letting us compare the difference in each drying mode.

Why is it taking so long (26 days???) to moderate a perfectly normal question?
I really need to know if this dryer is fixable or not or if I have to spend $1000 on a new one (yes the cheapest condenser model I can find in New Zealand is a fiver short of a grand or 500 quid UK).
I have a hoover VT580 which started blowing cold air. I replaced the heater element unit, and that didn’t work. I’ve just replace the ntc probe, and it is still blowing cold with both remold & the new heating element. Am I missing somethingk
That was supposed to read “still blowing cold with both the old and the new heating element. Am I missing something?”
How can I tell if the thermostat is not working or if it is the heater element
Hi Paul, I have a bosch WTA4408 tumble dryer.
It was failing to turn sometimes and the safety thermostat tripping due to this. Bought a capacitor off you guys and all good, setting away fine now even with heavier loads. I did suspect there was a second underlining fault as the heater seams to cycle in and out, more off than on. When on, the heater is at full temp (element has been replaced in the past). The red button on the safety thermostat hasn’t tripped. What do you recon mate? Has the earlier overheating due to the faulty capacitor cooked the safety thermostat or one of the remaining other two thermostats? If one of the thermostats were blown and producing an open circuit then surely the heater would never come on would it? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated Paul….best regards, Mark.
