how can I fix my simpson maxidry 1200 tumbledryer's airflow?

My tumbledryer seems to heat up and turn ok, but there doesn't seem to be airflow within the unit as the clothes are hot, but still wet after an hour. Is this fixable?

done
the fan belt on the back of the dryer will be broken

I'm pretty sure you will find the belt that drives the extraction fan is broken - dead easy to fix. On the back you will find a long plastic part that goes from the corner of the machine, to the centre - remove this (quite likely it's held on by one screw only). In there, you will find a broken plastic belt. get a new one from your local supplier, put it back together and go dry your clothes.

The same thing happened to ours. It's the fan belt. It's not extracting the moist air from in the drum. I'm on here looking for where I can buy a new belt.
