Maxidry 457. Re atatched drum drive belt. Now no heat ?

We took it apart to sort out the drum drive belt. Got that all done with help from this site. Great we thought. Started it all up and worked fine. But now we have no heat. Checked and re checked everything but still no heat. Cant find a wiring diagram and didnt touch anything else. What did I miss?

Ok thanks for that. I was wondering about that. wow they are very sensitive then.

It is highly likely the the thermostats have gone.
This is a common occurance on dryers. For some strange reason, a sudden change in temperature around the stats tends to make them useless.

It happened to me when I took the back off my dryer.
You should be able to replace these easily enough for between £10-£20.
