Hotpoint wd420?

Just bought this washer 2nd hand, allegedly 18 months old and fully working. However since I have had it the dryer cycle fails to work. it works for about 5 minutes then lights 1,2 & 5 flash.
Anybody help me?
Is this something I can fix myself?

Hotpoint Hotpoint WD420 Household Appliances, Washing Machines Hotpoint 18 Months

I have the same machine from new and have the same problem you have described. It is only 28 months old! Engineer says its better I buy another one or spend £180 on the part (something about heating controller). The machine cost £269 from Sainsbury's.
My brother bought the same model as me from Comet and at the same time, but his model only lasted 15months.

Whereas my previous washer dryer machine lasted for 14 years without so much as a hiccup.

sorry 1, 2 & 4 ...
Was advised it was the NTC that was faulty, so bought a new one fitted, and still the same fault.
However I have noticed that now the heater case get extremely hot but there feels like no warmth in the clothes!!
Is it possible the fan has developed a fault and how would i test this?
