WTE84105GB/25 bosch classix 7 tumber dryer wont start

my WTE84105GB/25 bosch classix 7 tumber dryer wont start.
I have cleaned out everywhere i can (including the water sump below the big filter).

I have taken the back off and there appears to be what looks like mould and moisture there, is that normal?
any ideas as to how to find out why it wont start:

yes that normal

it wont start yes but what does it do when you try to start it

Nothing, its like there is no power. No noise, no lights…. dead.
Before it died, it started to turn itself off before the clothes were fully dried. I would let it cool down then try again, but the same thing would happen. Then finally it died.

[electrofix]

well first have you tried a different socket or plugged something else into the socket to check it

after that if its dead its a main board fault (which may be repairable with electronic knowledge)

I tried an alternative socket without luck.
I thought it might be the pcb board (i think its called that) which for my model is £250, doesnt seem worth it.

[electrofix]

well it sounds like a power supply chip on the board, have fixed lots myself but if you cant do it try
