Hi guys, thanks to the forum I bought replacement thermostat pack for my CTD40. Now the hard part. I can't find the place in the tumbledryer that I need to unscrew. I've taken off a few bits (yes electric is off), but can't find them anywhere. Can someone send me a pcik or a diagram?

go to youtube and type in creda drier hotpoint dryer there are diagrams on there for this purpose.
Usually you will find the thermostats either on the canopy above the element or on the element itself. You have to unscrew the cover from the back of the machine once away you will see the thermostats. Be careful not to touch the areas of the thermostats which face the heat. If you are fitting new thermostats it might be a good idea to give the inside of the drier a good clean out of fluff as sometimes this can be the reason why the thermostats fail. Opening and shutting the door in mid cycle is another reason they fail as cold air is drawn into the machine causing sudden temp change.
