F06 is a door lock related error, sometimes burnt out wiring. Have you checked the latest safety recall to see if it includes your machine?

Hordes of people visiting local parks and beauty spots, traffic jams on the road to Snowdonia, are there any sane people left in this country or do most of the under 50’s just not give a toss anymore?:mad:
The carbon brush is NOT an earthing device. On electronically controlled SENSOR dryers a small current is fed into the drum and is monitored by the electronics. As the clothes dry their electrical resistance increases. This is fed into the electronic controls via the carbon brush to allow the dryer to switch off when the clothes are dry .
Get yourself one of these, a small price to pay to keep yourself safe.

you seem to be more fixated with the earth protection to the tumble dryer
I do apologise, I agree my 45+ years plus experience in the trade counts for very little, however during that 45+ years I have found that a faulty wall socket earth is the most common cause of people feeling even the slightest tickle from an appliance.
You are obviously far more knowledgeable than I am so I will withdraw.
Perfectly safe, depending on the design an earthing strip is not always needed and I would say that not many manufacturers have actually used that simple strip found on the Creda based dryer. Some types use an electrically conductive belt for instance. If you don’t have the means to do so I suggest you get an electrician to check the wall socket ASAP.
You need to test the earth in the wall socket the dryer is plugged into, you can’t do that properly with a simple multi meter.
It sounds as though you have an earthing problem on the machine as a whole. Have you checked the condition of the mains socket this machine is plugged into, particularly the earth in the socket. That earthing strip was only fitted to the Creda based Hotpoint dryers, it wasn’t used on previous models and isn’t common on any other makes.
