- check that the heating element is not broken: measure the resistance across the two terminals.
INTERVENTION OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY CUT-OUTS:
- use an ohmmeter to check that the heating element is not connected to mass and check for current
leakage (40 MΩ)
WATER LEAKS:
check that the seal is correctly positioned and fitted.
-
VIBRATION OR METALLIC NOISE WHEN THE DRUM ROTATES:
- check that the heating element is correctly positioned inside the tub. If worn, replace the heating
