Hi guys I've got an early burco dryer that I've set up for my dad I bought a new thermostat as the old one switched off too often. I warned my dad it would be hotter and dry quicker. But tonight it dried a 1/2 load on full heat in about 30 mins and obviously smelled very hot as not been getting that hot in years. I wondered if any one on here has one.?
Can I ask when it's on does the top and sides get hot ( not un touchable) but very warm. I've used this for 10 years and I've never known it get this hot. I just want to make sure it's no fire risk !! Thanks Richard

Hi yes the burco is all clean and good to go and has probably limped through the last 5 years on a bad stat. It was just a shock to go in to lobby at bottom of stairs where it lives to be hit by a wall of heat with 2 dogs panting. The usual clutter ( dog leads and bird seeds ) that my dad places on top were all nice and hot !!
I'm still looking for workshop manual for Bendix to show wireing diagram and thermostat info ! Thanks again for your help ! |
