The heating element has died.

I really believe you would be better off buying a new one - they are much more efficient and cheaper to run than older driers.

And once things start going wrong, it seems never ending.
it seems cheaper to buy a new one these days

I agree but he seems determined to go buy 2 replacement thermostats(or something)tomorrow and repair it,don't expect to have it working for long though!!

One last thing to try... Look for a recessed 'button' on the back. Some driers have reset switches hidden on them.


There must be a reason for it 'tripping' though (if that is the case). Check that there are no obstructions in the venting.
