Having replaced the heating element the dryer now heats up but the sensing function is not working i.e the dryer just stays on full heat instead of cooling once the clothes are dry. Is this likely to be one of the thermostats or another issue like the pcb? Thanks Peter

Before ripping into the dryer, with the dryer running, check the vent outside. There should be a rather strong air flow. I'll bet you have little or maybe no air flow. Check behind the dryer to make sure you don't have squished flex duct. If you have flex pipe, try running the dryer for a few minutes with the dryer pulled out into the room to stretch the vent out, and check outside airflow again. Try to eliminate all or as much of the flex stuff as you can, replacing it with aluminum dryer vent pipe. (tape joints with foil duct tape) Clean out remaining dryer vent. (there are special brushes you can buy to clean out vents, but they really only work on ridgid pipe.)

Is this a gas dryer, if so check the thermal fuse, should be white plastic with 2 wire ports. These tend to bad first. Thanks Dave www.washermd.com

Problem solved following a callback from manufacturer technician. It turned out that the carbon brush had become dislodged from its holder on top of the drum! With brush in place machine performs correctly.
