the dryer stops after a minute or two and well before washing is dry. After a few restarts (2-5) it eventually runs normally and dries. ANy advice on which part isn't working?
Firstly check the outlet vent for blockages or the hose for kinks.
Then the sensor brushes under the lid aren't so worn that the holder is touching on the drum.
Try on timed drying for a while which bypasses the sensor circuitry.
