  4. Remove the 4 shutters from the control panel with a very thin screwdriver. This can be difficult or even impossible.
  5. Use a forest as a last resort to start a drill.
  6. Catch each shutter with the forest

  11. With a PH2 screwdriver remove the 4 upper screws dia 4.2 x 9.5
  12. With a PH2 screwdriver remove the 4 lower screws M 4 x 6
  13. Lift the crankcase

  15. With a PH2 screwdriver remove the 2 screws dia 4.5 x 9.3
  16. Tilt and slide the screen down along the two wires of the temperature probe
  17. This gives you access to the environment of the two thermal fuses

  19. The purpose is to deposit the sheet metal flange that holds the two fuses (two large white and red textile sheaths) and the probe (small white sheath)
  20. The maintenance of this flange is ensured by a single sheet metal screw whose head is accessible inside the thermal housing.
  21. Use a small ratchet wrench or a short screwdriver with PH2 bit, and continue by hand.

  23. The absence of a power supply requires a diagnosis. The electrical test can be facilitated by opening the back of the splices with a cutting clamp.
  24. Open only the strict minimum to be able to pass the touch point of the multimeter.
  25. Open only the strict minimum to be able to pass the touch point of the multimeter.
  26. In our case, using the continuity function of the multimeter, it is the thermal fuse protected by the white sheath that is found to fail.
