Splendide Dryer - No Heat
Just a tip for anybody with Splendide dryer.
Mine went on the blink and would not heat even though the drum and controls all worked as they should. A call to service yielded this tip....
Unplug and take dryer out of its stack. Remove the panel that is on the bottom left of unit. Inside you'll find two heating elements (low and high) and two thermostats mounted to the panel. If the heating elements look undamaged, unplug the thermostats and check for continuity of the thermostats. They should both be closed (continuity in tact). If either one is open replace it.
Might save you a costly dealer repair and it's pretty simple. Dryer only weighs about 60 pounds.
Update:
Got my repair parts today and the fix worked as advertised. The bad news is they only sell the thermostats as a kit so end up with one spare you may never need. Cost for kit was $58 US plus shipping.
