I had an F-13 error on my WD865A (WD860) and adjusted the fan so it didn't rub any more. However, now the dryer works but it doesn't heat up the air. Hotpoint suggested the thermostat was broken.

Does anyone know the part code of the thermostat and where to buy one from? Thanks.

I also had the same problems.
I adjusted the rubbing fan.
The washing machine will now run a dry cycle, e.g. I set it for 30 mins to test and it completes. However was still no heat. I changed the thermistor (Dryer NTC) with an identical one (http://sparesmarket.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=797) ran the test again but still no heat. What should I do next? Replace the heat element? (http://sparesmarket.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=782). Thanks for any info.
