Heating element
Description
On Standard tumble dryer the heating
element is located at the bottom of the dryer,
fig. 1.
At the heating element a combined thermostat/
overheating protection is mounted.
This combined thermostat/overheat protector
has been introduced to avoid the tripping of the
overheat protector for no apparent reason and
unwanted lighting up of the filter lamp.
Replacement: Standard tumble dryer
Replacement of the heating element can be
carried out after disassembling the tumbler, see
section "Disassembling the dryer".
• Remove the spade-shaped connector from
the flat-plug terminal and the overheating
thermostat, fig. 2.
• Loosen the three screws underneath the
tumbler.
Tip! By tilting the disassembled dryer 45°
forwards, a good balancing point is found for
removing the bottom screws.
There are different types of heating elements
depending on voltage and effect, fig. 3:
To order the correct heating element, see label
on the heating element for voltage and effect.
