I tried this method and it worked perfectly. I was worried as the comapny no longer exists therefore there is no way to get 5 years free parts etc. But I opened the top and pressed a small thin red button. It worked as soon as I tested the dryer. You will need a very small squared end screwdriver to unscrew the top. You cant really use a phillips or a flat end one.
My hat goes off to ad man !!!
Thank you.
