Hotpint CTD00P Condensor dryer

Hi,

We've had thos dryer for 3 years now but it has recently been stopping half way through the drying cycle.

You can still hear the motor going, and it continues to heat as whe we open it the clothes are boiling and theres lots of steam.

It sometimes starts turning again after a while but sometime it smokes aswell.

We cant afford a new one but really need this one fixed.

My OH thought it could be the motor but we were wondeing if it could be anything else ?

Any help appreciated.
