Tumle Dryer not heating up?

My Hotpoint Aqurious condenser tumble dryer is not heating up, doing everything else it should but not getting hot on either setting. Please could anyoe tell me what could be wrong with it & how much would it cost to fix?
Thank You

In addition to my answer above (or below, not sure!!)
Try espares.co.uk for your element.

Sounds like the heating element.
Just guessing, is it a CTD40 ?
If it is the element will be serial number specific, that is, depending on what the serial number is, you'll need one of a choice of two to replace it. Look on the plate.
Each one is about £45 to £55 to replace.
If you get a technician to replace it, then add about £60+ to that for his/her work.
Hope that helps.
