Cheers Dave; have a reading of 2.8 k Ohms a 15 degrees C at pins 1 and 2 on J6. Still nothing on the error code front (E00).
Surprisingly dryer test position results in dryer coming on (with heat!) and I guess that’s the temp that starts counting up. Not sure if this was a fluke (intermittent), will wait for it to cool down and try again.

A few things Dave and others suggested to me ,check wiring as maybe its a intermittent connection issue (contact cleaner perhaps ?)- wiring to fan , recirculation pump ?. Reading the thread sadly maybe it could be a even be pcb error ? Check it for any obvious signs. If you can find a retired AEG engineer thats your best bet at this stage , keep us posted as id like to know what it was if you can find out.
Thanks for the encouragement Gokhk! Good thing is it’s still usable as a washer (even in its current state; lid off, PCB hanging out!). On the infrequent occasion we do need something drying (normally school uniform) the central heating has to come on so a bit of pain. Would be a shame to bin it just for the dryer as the rest of its in great nick. Its currently running a 60 C cycle with some Dettol washing machine cleaner I just bought, not thinking it would fix it but after deep cleaning the seals etc. thought why not.
It does seem intermittent, so maybe a loose wire connection, will examine again but the wires harness did look very sound. I was speculating a PCB error too (would this cause intermittent failure?) but not sure how to determine if it is faulty though.
Not giving up just yet, hopefully with the help of Dave and others will get to the bottom of this.

Ah, nope, did with the duct NTC as it was quite easy to trace back. Too many thin blue wires with this one. Any idea which contacts on the PCB? (Tried to upload pic but it exceeds quota).
Found it, excitedly detached to test in warmer climes (the kitchen) at room temp and dipped in some hot water, unfortunately, operating as expected. 🙁
Is the one in the drum for the main wash hot water (between the heater elements at the bottom of the drum)? If so its giving a similar reading to the one in the dryer assembly. The machine is in the lean too so a bit chilly, the amount of time I’m spending in there the missus probably thinks I’m having some sort of texting affair!
Hi Dave, thanks for your help.
The last code I had before I cleared it was the door open one as I was messing around with the washer. Don’t recall seeing any others.
I have done a couple of washes and attempted a few drying cycles since then but again no error.However, in the mean time I have got it to heat up once, no idea how, thought it might be to do with draining the sump waste water pipe due to cleaning the filter but it didn’t heat up again after I re-attempted the procedure.
Checked the elements again, you’re correct they came back with a reading of 30 M Ohms.
Anything else I can check?
Cheers
