White Knight Electric Tumble Dryer 86A

[sparkrace22]

Hi guys I am new to this site, with my 1st problem

our white knight vented tumble dryer, 86A electronic sensing has developed a mind of its own.
sometimes it starts and works perfectly well, completes the cycle no problem, remove load and reload and it will Not restart!
have pressed the reset button on the front and rear, the display flashes and will not start.

the program settings cannot be altered, & the heat settings cannot be altered.
leave it for a day, and it may or not start, just by pressing the activation button, and pressing the yellow start button!
dryer will sometimes do 2 loads,, then packs up for the day!!

the machine is not noisey, and not over hot, it runs without any issues.
then as I say will not restart, once it stops
the buttons are solid
when the display flashes & not starting, pressing the reset for few mins, you can hear click & display extinguishes

then press activation button & start button, machine does not start, so frustrating, all this has happened with the last few days, previously it has worked for 6 years without any issue

anybody know what could be wrong with it, the front & rear vents are not blocked,

but it has a mind of its own, I wondered if the circuit board could be faulty? OR a relay or even a capacitor if it has one?

any help appreciated, OR recommend somebody I live in Northwich Cheshire

The white knight tumble dryer 86A, we put the damp washing inside it this morning, pressed the activation button and start, needless to say it would not start, after pressing the reset button, and the delay timer from 1-9 a few times it started a clicking noise on the buttons and started!

dried this load without an issue then cooled cycle, removed load and put another load in, needless to say it would not start again, so once more pressing buttons and unplugging eventually restarted!,

Think thus item is on its final warning!
