Candy CDV262 dryer keeps knocking out the one shot cut-out

[Bernie]

Have a Candy CDV262 vented tumble dryer keeps knocking out the one shot cut-out.

Fitted new heater assembly 6 months ago was called out last week that heater had gone, cut-out ok fitted new heater now this keeps knocking out the one shot cut-out in less than 5 minutes. Plenty of Air coming from rear outlet so guess fan ok. I even tried a Hotpoint stat kit (1701583) on it, lasted 3-4 minutes.

I can’t see how the air is blown through the heater assembly?
Thanks

I can’t see how the air is blown through the heater assembly?

dont know this machine but from above comment i assume the fan is not below the element

if this is the case then it work on a vacuum system like the white knight
air is blown out of the dryer and the only way this air can be replaced is through the drum pulling air through the heater
problems with this system is if a main drum seal fails ( or the door seal) especially at the front air will enter without going over the heater causing it to overheat

hope this helps

Thanks for that Dave, that will give me Something to look for. This one does not have the fan below the element.
