Hi I have tried pressing the overheating protection button but there is still no heat coming from the dryer.
How do I know whether it's the thermostat or heating element or is a question of trial an error?
Any advice appreciated?

Excuse me if this sounds rude but the whole point of this website is 'how to mend it' - if I could afford an engineer don't you think I would have already called one? BTW this question was aimed at two 'helpful' gentlemen who had replied to an earlier thread.

Sorry if this sounds a bit rude but only a fool would go replacing parts one by one on a trial & error basis. Sure, eventually you may be lucky & get the right part & fix the problem but in the meantime the cost of all those uneccessary parts replaced is wasting your money. If you don't have the knowledge & test equipment to fault find the exact faulty part then you would be better off getting a repair person to come & do it for you. Will be much cheaper in the end.
