Mend Beumatic BDI361 Dishwasher Drying Element

Where is the thermostat on a Beumatic BDI361?

Hi,
like some others posts my dishwasher is not drying. I have checked the heating element and it seems OK so I've now moved on to the thermostat.

Can anyone tell me where it is located?

There is a device that fits into a T piece in the pipe as the water comes out of the heater (I assume this is it) but this does not look like the part being sold as the thermostat for this machine.

Thanks

The pressure switch on the heater will be to make sure water is present inside the heater tube before turning the heater on. For safety reasons you do not want the heater on with no water flowing. The heater is not switched on for the drying. It uses the heat from the heating of the final rinse water to dry the dishes, that is why drying is poor and takes a long time on Baumatic dishwashers. You buy cheap dishwashers you get cheap poor performance unfortunately. Google Baumatic dishwashers and read the poor reviews.

I've just worked out that the device after the heater is the pressure switch (pressostat) that is used to control the flow of water
Still not located the temperature sensor
