Default burnt out wire?
Model Number: awz220   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Hi my tumble dryer is going round but is just not heating up, I have cleaned the filters ect, anyway unplugged it and taken the back off and I have located the heating element but have noticed one of the wires that is attached to it has burnt out, forgive me here as I am not really that technical but the heating element has two wires leaving it which go into two blocks attached to the housing, its one of these wires that has burned(a brown wire) any ideas? can I just replace the block or has it been caused because the heater is no good?

I will need the model number to look up parts for you. But if you have tested everything with a meter and all you can find is a bad wire then that may be all you will need to replace. Get the model number and Ill see if I can get the wire for you.
