Yes, surprised it’s not running longer as most frost free machines will run 70-80{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time they are plugged into the wall.

Hi Susan,
If it is stainless then about the only way that it can “rust” is through direct contact with salt sat on it at least in that sort of use at any rate. There really isn’t anything else that can possibly cause it.
You’ll find the same sort of warnings on pots and pans that are or lined with stainless about undiluted salt on them, it will wreck them in short order. You will get pitting and “rust” appearing.

You won’t get a manual by the way. One doesn’t exist.
If it is the main oven switch then my honest advice is to scrap it as it needs this kit:
Range Cooker & Oven Thermostat
As you can see it’s expensive and believe me when I tell you this, trying to do that mod has been known to reduce grown men to tears in exasperation. It is a truly horrid, horrid job to do.

You’re missing a digit out that model number.
It sounds like a selector switch or thermostat issue but the model can have a bearing on the issue.

I wouldn’t bet that was actually there. 😉
No stock shown anywhere else I could find. Listed elsewhere at about £25 or so retail.

857533015034 is the service number.
The element in it is this one though the style may alter:

The compatible thermostat kit is:

Exploded drawings of it attached that may help you.

There are multiple versions of that dryer from 2004 through 2008 so the service number starting 85 is likely needed to offer much of any help.
The filter light just means it can’t detect airflow for whatever reason. I wouldn’t assume the heater was faulty till it was totally cleared internally.

On that model it is this one that is used:
