Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a preassembled heater unit (7) for a clothes dryer (25), to a preassembled outer cover (1) of a clothes dryer, and to a clothes dryer, which are provided with an electric heating element (4), preferably of the coiled resistance wire type, and form an insulating section (S), into which the heater element extends. In order to avoid current leakages from the heater elements to parts of the heater unit, the outer cover and/or the clothes dryer, respectively, the insulating section is separated from those parts that are electrically conductive and are electrically insulated from the heater elements by a layer of insulating material (5). Thus, there are no grounded parts in the vicinity of the heater elements that protrude into the air passage volume and may be conductively connected to the heater elements in operation due to the saline fog or splashing.
