Our creda tumble drier has just stopped heating up. It is rather old now and has been perfect up until last week. The motor turns the drum ok, and there is air flow through the unit, so all points to the heating element, but I am not sure how or what to do to repair it. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance, Andy

Ok, problem fixed, and this is what was wrong. Removed the rear panel covering the heating elements. Located the two temperature control sensors. These are above the heating coils. Using a multimeter, checked resistance of each to find one on the left was open circuit. Took this one off and cleaned, remeasured the resistance and now ok. Reassemble
and tested drier. Success.
