hi my tumble dryer is not blowing out heat, i have cleared the filters, checked everything and i have a feeling it is the heating element that has gone, my problem is this, i wouldnt know what an element looked like if it sat in my lap, so where is it located and is it dangerous to fiddle with these things or should i just ditch the tumble and buy a new one?

thanks for any help on this

it looks like your element has blown or also check the thermostats as well. You can buy one from CPC.co.uk for £11 plus VAT and handling. It is accessed by removing the screws from the back panel, look for any obvious signs like burnt marks or overheating.
