Hello,

I have a Hotpoin WD860 combined washer dryer and the dryer has just
stopped working. It goes through all the motions but it is not getting
hot. I have seen some posts about fuses, heating elements and bi-
metalic strips but I am not sure where to look for them. I anyone has
any ideas what could be wrong or where I should look for these parts
it would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Gary

mine was as simple as the wire snapping on the heater element which sits
on top of drum just under the top(not sure what my model was as its
since been replaced)

When you remove the top ( unplug it first) you will find a metal heater box
that has the fan and heater in it.
Also on or inside this box you will find the thermostat, over heat
protection and. probably, a lot of fluff.

You need to remove the fluff, check the thermostat, and protection device.

Could be any of the bits you said. Only way to find out which is to
test each one.

Looks like the switch which is in line with the heating element. Is
that the over temp or the thermostat (or both)? Any ideas as to the
best place to by one (UK)?

Many thanks
