Get a drill and start at the rear/back of the dryer. Take all the 1/4" sheet metal screws out until the back comes off then go from there. Should be pretty easy with a drill or a power screwdriver.

Are you getting little or no lint on the lint screen? Are the clothes coming out nearly as wet as they went in, but feel warm? If so, you probably have a blockage somewhere in the vent/duct. Don't just check the back of the dryer, but also check the duct thru the wall and the point where it exits the house (exterior wall or roof). Many times birds will nest in the exterior vents or if they have a screen to keep the birds out it may become clogged with lint. If you have a window nearby try drying a load with the vent hose disconnected from the wall and hang it out the window (you COULD vent it into the house, but you may end up with lint everywhere and a lot of moisture in your house).

Why is my Zanussi dryer stopping after 4 minutes it is heating and tumbling

As you are aware, every year manufacturers of products in this country try to make their products safer, and in the case of clothes dryers, they try to make them less susceptible to fires from accumulated lint.
To that end, it is probable that your clothes dryer has accumulated lint internally, and either some fuse (or fuses) or one of the "shut-off-thermostats" is kicking in every time you start it.
Someone will need to take the whole machine apart and clean out the lint, and check the fuses and thermostats with an electrical tester.
The lint that accumulates is not caught by the lint screen, it is throughout the inside of the machine in the tubing.
God bless your efforts.
( P.S. I have taken several machines apart and found a whole shoe-box full of accumulated lint inside.)

Ge sensor dryer stops after minutes

I suspicion you problem may be lint.
In the last 6 months, I have taken apart 5 various brands of dryer and found them filled with lint inside, often as much as 2 - 3 shoe boxes full.
This lint is only removed by dismantling the whole machine, as it is in the tubes for exhaust air between the hole in the rear and the blower fan inside.
Some dryer models are worse than others for collecting lint inside.
Be blessed..

My Whirlpool LTE5243DQ1 has stopped working, neither the washer or dryer will work or make any kind of noise, I have checked the power cord and the fuse box and both are working properly what else could...

Make sure the dryer isn't full of lint behind the panels; throughout the components of the lint extraction and back in the wiring components of the dryer. Mine stopped working and a thorough cleaning of the above solved the problem. My washer was working, however, before this process. I first checked circuit breakers (no help) and the thorough cleaning did the job. If there is overheating, there is some kind of safety shut off.

Lint trapped inside dryer housing

SHUT OFF POWER AND GAS
1. Begin by opening the door removing the two screws on the left side of the door opening.
2. Then remove the screws that secure the door hinges to the cabinet. Lift off the door (may take some wiggling)
3. Grasp the outer top sides of the front panel and pull toward you.
4. Lower the front panel and lift off.
5. At each top corner remove the screw and latch that hold down the top.
6. You should be able to do the rest from here.

Wont heat

the sensor may need to be reset. My felt filter had come off but the dryer worked fine until everything filled with lint. Much of the lint was in places you can't get to easily and Fisher Pykel doesn't mention cleaning these areas in their manuals. I know it is to late to help you but it may help someone in the future.
