Hoover 5050ED intermittent heating problem?

Thanks for your answer. I don't really have the equipment or experience to diagnose the problem. Thought someone might have had a similar problem and discovered that it was something simple. I have a wife that thinks I am a genius when I change a light bulb. She has high expectations and I was hoping for a simple solution. lol. Thanks again. I'll get it checked out.

Could be the heater element, could be a bad connection, could be an intermittent fault on the circuit board. You could keep on guessing and maybe one day strike it lucky and find the fault. You don't say if you own a test meter and have some basic fault finding knowledge. Without them you would be better off giving it over to someone who can test it and find the fault quicker.
