My Tumble dryer is 5 yrs old condensor type and is not heating up,it has power and the drum appears to turn what is the likely fault and can i fix it myself? The extended warranty ran out on 2/12/06 !! I have cleaned the condensor unit.

Turn off the power and unplug it.

remove the cover on the back - torx fittings about a dozen.

At the top you will see a couple of black electrical connectors - one has a small red button.

Press the red button - if it clicks then you have fixed it. This is the overheat protection.

Make sure that the filter and the internal filter are clear - this is the most likely cause ov overheating.
