Splendide Washer/Dryer

Check the heating element. Pretty simple to access once you pop the top off. Dont forget the two screws in the back.

Will do, would think no heat at all if it were the heating element. Not familiar with this brand but will get on it.

I did read that you cleaned the vent, so the may be something that you have already done. I had to remove the back cover, go in and remove the rubber extension between the washer/dryer and the outside vent to find that lint had built up enough that the 4inch hole was no longer open enough to stick my finger in. Once I cleaned that, the dryer worked great.

I was wondering that exact thing Vance. I'm going to pull it and check that. I went from the outside and its true you can't really turn the corner that well. Thanks.

Also, clean the filter. I found a coin that was preventing the little fan from turning.

I did not write this but have saved it to share.

Procedures for cleaning out the lint from the washer/dryer:

"they eliminated the lint screen in the 2100 with a design feature that catches the lint in water and flushes it down the drain. Nice idea, but not quite perfect in results."

THE PROBLEM: With use the lint eventually sticks inside and restricts, then plugs the air outlet, making the dryer useless." If you have a lint screen, you should be OK. If not, you might want to try the process. For the 2100XC, cycle 11 is "silk", which adds A LOT of water to the drum. Cycle 2 is "heavy duty". You'd have to check for comparable cycles on an older unit.

Clearing lint from Splendide’s Interior Duct
1. Run the unit without clothes and with the dry time off on cycle # 11.
2. When the water stops entering the unit push and hold the start button until all the lights come on then release the button.
3. Next, move the cycle knob to cycle # 2 and press the start button once (do not hold).
4. Let it run through that complete cycle.
5. Do this twice.

If in frequent use, do this once each month to avoid buildup.
If the above treatment fails, try it again, adding a cup of white vinegar to break down the deposited soap and fabric softener.

FALL BACK PROCEDURE IF THE ABOVE PROCEDURE FAILS

1. Pull the unit out and remove flexible exhaust duct.
2. Pick out as much lint as you can from the air outlet on the back of the dryer.
3. Put a garden hose in the outlet and blow the blockage into the washer.
4. Run the washer on a short cycle. The blockage breaks up and goes out the drain.

When mine would not heat, it was the control board. It would tumble and do everything correctly, but not heat.

That was a few years ago, now it has a new problem. It won't spin. Goes through all the cycles, but won't spin. Sure it's the belt. Waiting to get back to northern Indiana and take it to the service center.

Great stuff. Thanks!
