Proline TDC6A Switches off after a couple of minutes?

Can anyone advise please? The dryer is barely 18 months old, yet the following problem has developed:
After a couple of minutes the dryer switches off. If I re-start it, then it switches off even quicker.
Any advice appreciated.

Yep, its the relay. Mine has just failed too. This time its the relay coil going open-circuit. £7.11 from RS sounds great, E-Spares want £23.99!

we had the same problem i replaced the relay at the back of the front cover. part no(schrack rm505730) I ordered the part from RS Components there stock No 2106661 this fixed the problem it cost £7.11 for the part and £4.95 delivery. To find this part go RS website search for part No RM505730 THIS IS A 16A 230V AC RELAY COIL .

a control relay behind front panel it power drum action and reverse action on motor ,what you need to do is remove it and clean the contacts ,they can get pitted ,,always check venting on dryer
