More Details
This hot point tumble dryer element and thermostat work to create heat within the tumble dryer. The heat is then used to dry clothes by passing warm air through the drum. The element heats up, making the air inside the drum warm. This air helps to eliminate moisture from clothes, making them dry quicker. The thermostat typically acts as a safety shield within your tumble dryer, preventing it from overheating. The dryer element features small wired components and wiring connectors. The metal frame is metallic which helps generate heat and the metal frame also helps it to stay securely in place. This is a genuine Hotpoint tumble dryer heater element and thermostat replacement.
Where can they be found within a tumble dryer?
A dryer element and thermostat are usually found in specific areas of your tumble dryer depending on your appliance model and design. They can usually be found in areas such as, behind the drum, in the air flow path and near the bottom side.
What causes them to become faulty?
There are many reasons why your tumble dryer heater might become faulty. Reasons such as, overheating, blocked air flow, faulty installation and moisture build up, all suggest you will eventually need a replacement. If your element starts to overheat and your lint filter is blocked, this can cause your element to burn out and decline as it is exposed to severe heat. This can also damage the thermostat if it can’t maintain temperatures. Over time, your element can become worn due to frequent use. This can develop cracks and damages within the heater when it heats up. Not fitting your heater element and thermostat correctly can also cause greater damage as this causes stress on the way they function. Wiring issues or loose wires can also impact the functionality of the heater and thermostat within your appliance.
When should I get a replacement?
There are a variety of signs that indicate you might need a replacement. The main ones include, clothes not drying, the dryer unable to heat up, burning smell and visible burn marks. If your clothes remain damp after the drying cycle, then this can suggest that the heater element isn’t producing enough heat. A burning smell during your drying cycle can also indicate a faulty element and thermostat as they could be over heating. Additionally, visible burn marks on your element can lead to further issues impacting the efficiency of the dryer
