Not heating

I have taken the top off my Zanussi and some of the heating elements glow for about 10 seconds at a time then go off. There is some heat but not enough to dry clothes. Is this the element that is going?

    No, If there is a thermostat above the element and there is not sufficient air flow as you have removed the cover. Then the thermostat will cut off the power to the element as it is overheating without the air flow. This is likely to come back on as it cools.
