Can confirm the problem was one of the set of three Valve Magnets, i.e. the one feeding the Condenser. Exchanged and now up and running.

Update. The above mentioned thermostat was ok. Checked all the ventilation and ducting and all clean other than a small amount of residue around the top of the Condenser/Fan Housing. Now suspect the Valve Magnet.

Thanks Martin, can you or anyone advise how I can inspect/clean if necessary, the Condenser. We tried the Washer/ Drier again and had no electric problems so I take it the thermostat/thermal cut out is working. There wasn’t any steam emanating from anywhere other than the detergent box and I could see it rising from the pipe that runs down from the bottom corner of the box. Otherwise the machine works fine. My wife is of cause a little dubious of undertaking a full wash and dry.

Thanks to you both. There’s no tear in the Door Seal. I removed the top of the Washer Dryer, it’s as new and very clean. I did however find a trace of soot on top of the third thermostat (the one at a the back looking from the front of the machine), I guess the soot denotes its burnt out – Is it readily replaceable?
