Eventually got the element pack out and sure enough the thing had burnt out. Went on the net and found the part I needed. 2 days later it arrives. Great, now all I have to do is put the thing back together. Everything went swimmingly until I came to place the last piece. Now there was nowhere that this thin, half moon piece of metal with plastic ends was going to fit. I tested the machine and it worked well. Warm air etc. but again looked at this part and worried that the whole world might cave in if I didn’t find where it should go. I went back to the PC and found the model number, went through the schematics and still couldn’t find where the hell this part should go.

3 hours have elapsed at this point.

Went back to the machine and took it apart again, looking intensely for anywhere this part should go. I placed the thing on its side to get a better view when Rachael rolls in from work. I explained that I’d fixed the problem, but had a spare part that I couldn’t place. She took one look at my nemesis and said with an expressionless face. “That’s a piece of wire out of one of my bras”.
