Twice in the last 3 months it has cut out due to people NEVER emptying the fluff filter.One time it blew the fuse in the plug.One time it needed a new fuse in the plug, the other time the Rcd tripped-and it worked fine again There is power to the programmer, and the on/off switch has continuity but no power. There are two themal cuts out.One on the element , it has a pair of wires and continuity.The cut out on the the fan has two pairs of wires, blue and red.There is continuity across the blue pair , and continuity across the red pair. Are ther any simple things esle I can look at? many thanks Richard

They are: the door switch (#10 on the cabinet parts break down diagram) and thermal fuse (#8 on the bulkhead break down diagram). Good luck. Gene.

I did remove the bulkhead yesterday and part 8, thermal fuse was taped to one cable loom , no connections! So either its not required on the Uk model , or maybe has been replaced before..though why a blown part wasn't binned is a mystery. I wil go check the door switch today. Richard

(Juria 10WO, 52 (ohm symbol)k The door switch is also fine. I think thats bout all I can do, unless you can think of anything. I'm loathe to get a programmer, expensive.But we are 20 miles from nearest place an engineer Might come from. Best wishes Richard
