Where's the Thermostat?

I have a Creda T622CW which is not heating up. I have replaced the heating element and the 2 thermostats at the back. I contacted a local dealer who informed me that there is another thermostat at the front. I ordered said thermostat and removed the top front section of the machine. No sign of a thermostat. Dose anyone know where it is?

Thanks....

spot on, been following the q,s and a,s
same problem replaced rear thermo,s x2 and element
with no joy,then read about third sensor which is just behind the rubber seal at the top, you have to cut the zip tie by the timer switch to drop it down. replaced that and it works.nice one folks ps its a creda tcr14

If you open the door and look up inside it may be there. I found mine there on the Hotpoint tc71 after taking the whole machine to bits.

Trevor, I haven't changed the front thermo' because I can't find it. As you can see Paul says it is at the front of the drum. I want to avoid taking the whole front section off the machine if poss. I have ordered a new timer unit as I understand this can prevent heating. I will have a built a new machine soon with all the new parts I've bought!!

Thanks Paul.
I can't see it when I remove the top section where the switch & timer umots are. Will I need to remove the front panel?
The problem is no heat. I have renewed the rear thermostats and the heater element - still no heat. Also, I am now informed that it is rare that the front thermostat fails. Is it more likely therefore to be the timer?

IT IS AT THR FRONT OF THE DRUM AT THE TOP OK
