Hotpoint TDC62P condenser tumbler heating element failing
I replaced the thermostats in June last year as it was not heating up and I had to do the same again in Feb this year. Those thermostats failed along with the element 10 days later so I replaced both thermostats and element. Both have failed again in just a few weeks. The multimeter reading on the element is over 80 so per your video that is too high and it has failed and the thermostats also seem to have failed. Is there something else I need to replace to stop these new parts from failing so quickly? Thanks.

It may be possible to read the high heat and regular element is series and get a reading of 80 ohms so it suggests the element is OK. If you stop the machine mid cycle as the air flow stops immediately the thermostats can overheat and fail. Replace the thermostats and do not stop when hot but allow to finish the cycle with the cool down phase at the end.
