Electra won't heat up?

I recently acquired an Electra 37290 drier. It worked fine the first couple of times I used it, but now it doesn't heat up. Everything else seems to be alright. The filter has not been cleaned since I got it and I wondered if that could affect the heating but I thought probably not and I don't know how to remove/clean the filter. Please can you help a desperate mother of 3 with no dry days in Scotland to dry clothes? Thanks

Glad I saw this!! Think ours was caused by the hose being 'kinked'. Took out the faulty thermostat, pushed a needle through the back & hey presto it went click & is now working properly.

Thanks to Luke.

this is very easy

make sure you unplug the machine to start with

remove the back cover on your dryer

and u will see 2 thermistats you will need to test these and the one that is broken you need to drill a hole through or there could be a reset switch at the back.

either way this will reset the dryer and it will get hot
