  • Most likely themostat or cutout.Check if fluff filter has been cleaned after every drying cycle if not machine will cut in/out until failure of the themostat/cut out occurs. Easier & cheaper to start by changing the thermostat kit. See post "Dryer runs but fails to heat" By Timsim - Folkestone Kent - 25 January 2010

    Hi Budgies20, this model isn't notorious for any particularly dodgy parts - it will be just general wear and tear or plain bad luck that's caused this problem. Check this page out for help: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/tumble-dryers/a/9/117/common-tumble-dryer-faults.html
