Question moved to Hotpoint.
Most dryers have 2 elements, one for low, and one for medium. High heat is both elements together. My guess is that your medium element has failed and you are only getting low heat.
if i remember rite ctd40 has three stats over heater 1 has pin hole in top push needle in hole to reset it and take needle out then try ive done this on sum
try changing the thermostat and make sure all the air is bled out of the system this should help your heat problem.before changing the stat with the motor at operating temperature grab the heater hoses to see if they are the same temperature or not.if they are the same then change the stat.if not the same temp then the heater core may be plugged or partially plugged and will have to be changed.still change the stat as they do get tired and won`t work properly.
power off unit and unplug... unscrew rear heater panel and 2 screws securing heater... there are 2/3 stats attached to the top of the heater unit... one has a small hole in it, this is the resetable stat.. into this insert carefully a pin or paperclip till a clik is heard.. reassemble in reverse..
check condensor and door filter for blockages.. fire up again and hopefully back in action
if you have no display then the overheat cutout on the heater has tripped. can be reset but check air path (door filter and condensor ) as this usually trips for a reason.. safety first.
When you take the large metal plate off the back of the drier you will see the 4 elements (bars/coils with fins!). separate the plate from the element bracket by removing the 2 screws. there are 3 round cylinder type electrical connectors, there will be a black one with a hole (approx 2mm) poke a small pin into it and you will hear a click. This is the Bi-Metallic thermo cut out device. as it has tripped once it will have slightly weakened the "sprung contact", This may cause it to trip again a little while later. A new thermostat will be required if it keeps returning. dont forgot to clean the condensor unit on a monthly basis.
Good morning.
Error code F03 means that the wash thermistor is open circuit, this means that the water is not getting hot.
You need to fit a new thermistor first of all, if that does not solve the prob, then you will have to fit a new heater element as well.
You will normally find the element and thermistor located at the rear of the m/c.
Access it by removing lower rear panel

Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
hiya
sounds like you will need a thermostat kit and possibly a heater unit, if your getting them shipped to oz you will probably use them. i would change the thermostats first as this will more than likely be the cause.
hope this helps
