Ive rinsed the bottom filter as advised and dryer still shuts off
I have the Asko T702 dryer and it stays on for all of 1 minute then shuts off. I have removed the 2 bottom screws and rinsed the filter off with hot water and still I cannot dry my very wet clothing.

Quite often, the top of a dryer can be opened with a thin, straight putty knife. NOT A SCREWDRIVER. Where the top and side meets, there is a connection. Place the putty knife in from the front, about 1" - 2" from the side edge and try to slide until you feel a solid stop point. When you feel the blade hit a stop, back it out about 1/2", move it about 1" toward where you felt the stop, and push it inward. Repeat this on the other top front corner. There are spring catches that hold the top down. After you do your repair, just pivot the top back into place and push down until you hear it click into place.

Remove bottom panel. The condenser unit is on the left side. Open the section by undoing the clips, and look inside the little "cage". That's the sensor. Remove any lint using a toothpick and you should be good to go!
If you continue to try to run the dryer after the automatic shut off kicks-in it will shut the cycle down with no flashing lights after the dryer reaches a critical and dangerous temperature. If the dryer is skipping immediately to this step without any flashing lights then call an Asko certified repairman as something may be wrong with the machine. If you have not tried cleaning the condensor, please do this as well. Remove the bottom housing of the dyer, move the two red handle to the right, and pull out the condensor unit. Wash it under warm/hot water using a bathtub or shower and you will see lint and dust come out by the heapful. Replace the condensor unit, wait about 30-45 minutes, and then try restarting your dry cycle.
Check sensor for fluff. We have asko tumble drier and have had to clear this of fluff many times. Take bottom panel off, as if removing filter to clean. Located on left hand side is a plastic cover, grey, secured by one security head screw. Once screw is out carefully remove circular cover uncliping clips. Inside is a sensor with a plastic cage around it, about size of one pence piece, clean fluff out with toothpick for example. This should do the trick. Good luck.
