Dryer has stopped working. Spinning but no heat. any ideas please?

Tecnik 990 washer dryer. The dryer has suddenly stopped producing heat although it is spinning as before. Does anyone know if there is there a simple explanation and fix? Thank you

Simple explanation - the heater is not heating, fairly obvious. Why is it not heating? Could be faulty element, wiring, thermostat or controller not supplying power to element. Best we can do i'm afraid. You will need to use test meter & fault find the reason. If you don't have test meter or fault finding skills call someone out who does. Remember this is an electrical appliance. Do the wrong thing and someone may end up getting a shock.
