Hi Everyone!
It has been a minute since I’ve had any issues, but here we are…
My Westy D6 keeps frying heating elements and I think it’s due to the timer control thermostat that sits on top of the drum. The start switch solenoid will engage and disengage a few times like a shot gun then I come to find the wires to the heating element and the element itself has burnt out. I cant find any reference to what the specs of the thermostat are and it looks like it’s just a bimetallic strip in a little cup, clipped to the top of the drum. Does anyone have any data on it or know how possibly to source a new one?
Thanks!
