Does my Zunussi Td163 have thermal switch?

Hi, a couple of days ago my Zanussi td163 tumble dryer stopped giving out heat.All other functions seem to work fine.I have read talk of thermal cut out switches located on the machines but can't seem to see one.Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Yes, if you look at the back of the machine you will see a red cap on the heater and fan housing, If after you press this and it continues not to give out any heat, dis-connect from the mains and remove the cover using a cross head screwdriver. once the cover is removed you will see the heating element and to the left is a black block, this is the thermal switch. with a button press the button and reassemble. Please Note this procedure should only be carried out by a qualified repair person.
