The problem I have is when I put the tumble dryer on for a cycle it starts for a few minutes then cuts off even the LCD screen on the front shuts off, Its all clean and empty but cant work out why its doing this
First, does the dryer heat up? does the top of the dryer gets hot?
and most important, did you check the vent hose all the way to the outside to make sure you have a good (strong) air flow; check the vent line and hood to ensure it is clear from lint buildup
Hi thanks for getting back to me, yes I've checked all these things it's free from lint and fluff, but still turns itself off, the dryer does heat up, I switch it on and after 8 seconds it switches itself off and goes completely dead like it as no power running through
If the dryer will start only after a couple of minutes delay, that would be caused by the motor's overload switch and this can only be rectified by replacing the motor, if you can restart the dryer without delay, it is more likely to be a problem in the control board. Contrary to some of the comments on line, Thermostats do not usually affect the running of the dryer but rather the heating system.

this will be a problem with your thermostats 1 of them will have a thermal cut-out switch built onto it this thermostat needs replacing it is faulty

As a matter of fact I have solved the problem. The dryer is now fully functioning again. :-)
I'll try to explain how to fix the problem:
The water that condenses in the condensor (doh!) drips down into a container situated below the condensor. The moist air that passes through the condensor is the same air that circulates via the clothes, thus it also contains some lint that the filter doesn't catch. Over time there will be some build-up of lint and mucus (?), clogging the tank AND a sensor that sends a signal to the electronics to start the pump that evacuates the condensed water to the removable tank in the upper part of the machine. This messes up the function of the water evacuation system.
Alright, pull out the condensor and find a hatch in the 'floor' in the farther part of the compartment. Below the hatch you'll find the container that collects the condensed water. Start by cleaning it as thoroughly as you can. There are a few 'nooks and crannies', take your time, also flush with some fresh water and maybe some gentle cleanser to get rid of the mucus. The pump and the sensor for the pump are located in the left part (viewing from front of the machine) of the container. Try to flush there as well.
If this procedure doesn't solve the problem you'll have to disassemble the machine to also be able to remove the pump and sensor housing. I had to do this on mine. Quite a few screws to remove and keep track of, but pretty straight forward if aren't too uncomfortable with 'fixing things'.
I have some pictures of the 'project' somewhere, let me know if you would like to see them or if I may help you some other way.

thermo sensor inside is bad (are you sure ALL vents and pipes are clear?)
