I can't see the stat at the back (have taken a few more photos to make sure I am not missing anything obvious - this time the top of the photo is the back of the machine).
Firstly, am I missing the wood for the trees here guys (ie can you see the stat) ?
Secondly, assuming that it isn't the...
What is a resistance tester (is that the same as a multimeter) ?
Are they expensive and where would I get one ?
Assuming I did get one how would I go about testing this appliance to assess whether it is another stat blown or whether it is the heating elemnt that's gone ?
Cheers,

Thanks jj. You were right, that was the stat.
Had it off and it looks OK. As I don't have a multimeter I did the naughty thing of disconnecting the wires from the stat and connecting them together (temporarily, have now put back as was) to see if the heating element would heat.
As it didn't I...
We have the above (ie Hotpoint 9324) tumble dryer. It has stopped heating (the drum still spins and everything else looks fine - just no heat).
It is an old machine but I am loathe to go out and buy a new one if it is a simple repair.

Recently had to call in a plumber as my bath and...
Thanks Jon, that's the kiddy !!
I heard it referred to as PTFE (before I forgot the name) but didn't know that it stood for that (makes sense really !!!)
Thanks !
Andy.
Can anyone please tell me the name of the 'material' that you get on a tape type roll that is soft and pliable and you would use it to wrap round the thread of an old metal joint before screwing the nut back in place to give a good water tight fit ????
Also could you advise me where I can get...
Thanks confident - am preparing to line walls with lining paper (can't say that I am looking forward to it as never done before).
Have put sander away (read an article at defra re lead based paint removal that has scared the life out of me) !!!!
That said I do need to lightly sand in small...
I have a similar scenario so thought I would tag it on to this post rather than start a new thread (hope that's OK).
I have completely stripped a room to decorate and as the plaster is in pretty good nick was intending to sand it down to remove paint, dried glue and any excess filler.
I...
