I bought a new NTC sensor just in case & tested them today – both those in the machine checked out ok – read roughly the same at room temp as the new one (~60kohm) & decrease in resistance when held in palm of hand.
I think it must be the control board at fault, perhaps the relay? I looked at the board today & it looks like the dryer operation is controlled by a smaller daughter board mounted on the bigger one & it only has a single relay that looks to be in line with the heating element. Nothing obviously wrong with it – no corrosion etc.

Has anyone heard of that ever being at fault?

Hi, do you know how I go about testing those? As they are before the fan & down in the condenser bit .i.e. not where it gets hottest on top, I thought it wouldn’t be them. shouldn’t they throw an error code?

Thanks Dave. Is that the Siemens part number? Any idea if its shared with any other model or where I might find a good 2nd hand one? It’s quite a lot to spend on a not-new machine.
