Hi,

My Hoover A8576 washer dryer is old and is continually breaking, but
I've become attached to it so I wonder if you can help me save it one
more time?

Washing works fine, but when it comes to drying, the heating element
isn't getting hot and the timer wheel at the front of the machine
doesn't run down.

The motor that blows the air into the drum is working fine.

Can you tell me which connections to connect my multimeter to diagnose
the problem (continuity testing etc)

You could check for mains power reaching the heating element.
