    Hi. Machine is working fine apart from not drying clothes in dryer cycle. When using dryer at weekend, main trip went on house electrics. reset trip and all ok other than not drying when tried since. Having read numerous articles it could be a problem with Dryer Heater element, Thermostat, Capacitor or PCB. Any suggestions on which to check first? Does tripping power suggest one ahead of another? There’s no flashing lights or error messages showing. Any help much appreciated. Thanks

    sounds very much like the dry heater normally fitted in the heater manifold on the top of the appliance.should read 30ohms on a meter,but also check the thermal fuse/thermostat,(continuity on test) keep safe regards taffska.
