Have you made sure it’s clear of debris as in all the filters and pipe work ? Failing that I hope you’ve got some form or cover for it, sometimes you can take out an aftercare package when it’s got a fault outwith warranty |

Depends how old it is, its sometimes just as easy buying new if outside warranty. Most mc parts are designed to fail after so long so if its an older mc then expect lots more repair bills. Unless you have extended warranties which im assuming you dont since your trying to fix it yourself,you can pay an engineer around x amount for call out and parts probably, the maths dont add up to me. |

All traps are clear only has 1,washing side off machine works fine so not the Element in that part off the system , and logically I would think heat sensor would kick in if overheating and fan would come on but that's not happening or maybe it's not communicating with fan , any electrical males / females give me pointers on how to multimeter a battery pack for motor to drive fan , cheers all |

Have you checked to see if it's on any of the recall lists.
If it's an overheating problem it could be the element isn't switching off when it's reached the desired temperature. Could be the temperature sensor.
I would recommend checking to see if it's on a recall list and if it's not get a professional to look at it. With all the fires being caused by these things I wouldn't take the chance. |

"A big shout out to a lovely cpl who will remain nameless , they had a word with a person and they where spot on.
Plus I never knew this machine has a filter under the Element housing which had some wet fluff which in turn wasn't allowing enough air into the machine , now that is cleared my machine is working a treat .
As I said to the vol you can find an answer on here to a washer / dryer question but I canny find a woman or a cpl lol  "
Well you can offer to wash their dirty drawers now and take it from there  |

I did something similar called up about the refuse collection and I was flipping like flipper with a doze off the horn until I found out once the girl got a chance to speak that I had called Aberdeenshire Council , give her credit she asked if I wanted the Aberdeen councils number , do now I ask you I am chatting to before I go on one , think it's the Auld age kicking in |
