5.11.3 Checking for efficiency
DOES NOT HEAT:
-
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 M
Ω
)
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
element.
