Hotpoint Tumble Dryer 2.05 Kw Heating Element

Description

How does the heating element in a tumble dryer control temperature? 

The heat from the tumble dryer heater components dries the clothing. To regulate the temperature, they combine an electrical resistance device with a thermostat.

When the dryer is turned on, electrical current flows through the heater element. The wire heats up as a result of resistance that the current meets during its passage through the wire. The clothes are then dried by the warm air in the vicinity.

When do they need to get replaced?

Heating and cooling processes, tension, mineral deposits from hard water, and ageing can cause heater elements to deteriorate over time. The need for heater element replacement is indicated by signs like insufficient heating, prolonged drying times, insufficient heat production, cold spots on clothing or the drum, visibly damaged elements (burn marks, breaks, or corrosion), and a broken thermostat signalling problems with temperature regulation.
