Hi Julie,

I've completely misread your post! Sorry.

No heat is a common problem with these machines and is easily remedied.

Contact me on the email given.

Hi Julie,

Firstly you need to check to make sure that the belt is intact. I suspect it is but check first. You can do this 2 ways. When turning the drum by hand is it fairly difficult to turn? If so then this will indicate that the belt is ok. The other way is to simply remove the lid and visually check.

If the belt is ok then the problem is likely to be the capacitor. These are reasonably cheap and not to difficult to fit.

I can supply the part/s and assist if required.
