Sorry for the delay in replying but it looks as though we might have got the gold medal at long last. I did all the checks you said, removed all connectors and then put everything back together and since then everything has worked fine. Maybe when I put the new sensor in I didn't push the...

Will try all of the above asap. Is the front sensor the same as the rear one? Are they interchangeable in case it's the rear one that's faulty? Will the heater element be ok?

The good news - sensor arrived and fitted this morning The bad news - it made no difference, the alarm sounds just as before. I took the resistance of the the sensor I removed and it was around 13 k ohms which gradually reduced as it warmed when I held it.. The new one started off around 14k...

Thanks, I will get one ordered and let you know the result.

The dryer is coming up to 5 years old. The sequence of flashes is - drying led is 4 quick flashes then approx 2 second gap the repeat 4 quick flashes etc etc cool air led 1 flash approx every 2 seconds

Yes, you're right, it should have been k ohms. The actual reading this morning was 139.7 k ohms but the dryer had been on a cool cycle. This is the reading at the plug and not the pcb, hope I am measuring the right one.

Ok, let's see what sort of mess I can make of this. You said 2 thin wires and 2 thicker wires. The picture shows a pale blue connector to the left with 2 white, thick wires with a coloured stripe woven into the insulation. The resistance at this plug was 92 ohms. To the right of the picture...

ooops, proves what I know about dryers :D Will look again tonight, from what I can remember there were quite a few wires on that.

Right, I hope I am on the correct thing here. If you look at the picture of the connector with 4 terminals the 2 connections to the left had brown wires attached and the 2 to the right had light blue wires. If you number those terminal 1, 2, 3 and 4 then I could get no reading between terminals...

from left, 1, 2, 3 and 4

right, got the lid off ok and the pcb at the front right hand side. I can't find anything that has 2 thin black wires attached. The only thing I can see is a connector with 4 thin black wires. Am I looking in the correct place? The picture shows the pcb and the 4 black wires on the extreme right...

wiring

ok, this sounds to be getting a bit more complex now. I should be ok with the rear connections, not sure about taking the door off though, just hope the rear one is faulty then I don't have to carry on.
