how can i fix the heating element on hotpoint CTD00?

Buy a replacement heating element. I got mine off e bay for £32 delivered. U then remove the top by unscrewing the 2 retaing screws for the lid . Then slide lid from front to back. Next remove the two screws and cover on the rear which conceals the drum bearing. Then remove all the screws holding on the big cover which sticks out and contains the heating element. Next remove the right side cover (as u look from the front) approx 4 screws .this gives u access to the connector plug which u unplug. Remove the big rear cover and the heating element is now removed by releasing the 2 screws. Assemble everything in reverse order as above and all should be working
