Mend Zanussi TD 150 Thermostat Tumble Dryer Heating

Zanussi TD 150 won't dry for long?

My Zanussi TD 150 Tumble Dryer keeps cutting out after about 10 mins of drying. It heats up fine, but then cuts out and I have to press the little red button on the top thermostat to get it to dry again.

I thought it was the thermostat so I replaced the one with the red button for a 140 degrees thermostat, but the problem is still there.

Do you think it is the thermostat beneath this one, and if it is this, what one should I get to replace it? I can find ones for 54 degrees and ones for 120 degrees which supposedly fit this tumble dryer. I'm just not sure which one to get.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers.

Hi CK. Yep, everything is clear. I think it was because I stupidly dried a feather pillow in there, and it was too large to let the air flow through it properly (the pillow has burn marks on it). It started cutting out after that. The fluff filter also melted a bit during it. I won't be trying that again...

cutout stats tend to pop out because there is a restriction in air flow.have you checked all the vents are clear to the outside world?.
