    Hi helo, that sounds wonderfully simple but I’ve no idea where this filter is or what it looks like. Can you give me a clue please?

    I really appreciate your patience 🙂

    Its a very small, mesh filter at the back of the heater box, It has thin grey plastic hose connected to it.

    Thank you! I had to remove the heater box flange from the top of the drum (as well as splitting the heater box) to get to this filter.

    At first look it seemed OK but it turned out to be covered with a fine film of lint. I cleaned it and put it back in as I was rather nervous to “remove it and snip the wire to the valve” as advised earlier.

    I replaced the thermal cut-out (again) and all seems well, although I don’t think I’ll be using the high temp setting as it was doing this that caused the last cut-out to, erm, cut-out 😆

    Thanks again to all who helped.

    I’m up for following your advice but I was a bit concerned by the wire snipping aspect, ie which wire to snip and could I achieve the same aim by removing the connector from the valve.?

    I thought I’d provide an update on this. I did as helo_75 suggested back in 2009 and the machine has been working perfectly ever since, so many thanks for sharing your experience there helo_75 🙂
