Hotpoint Aquarius CDT00 Tumble Dryer not heating

[steve280862]

All seems ok apart from no heat, have cleaned all filters etc.
Previous thread says about the sensor inisde the banjo unit at the back and a reset pinhole.
I have 2 sensors both looking like clock batteries with slightly concave faces, but no pinhole!
Have pressed hoping they reset but no luck.
Has anyone any other ideas please?

Take them out and throw them on the floor a couple of times till it resets

The sensors seem to be set inside a holder, the holder doesn't move and not sure how to remove! Prob a bit thick but do I simply get a screwdriver and 'dig' them out?

They have 2 screws in each disc on the edges.

Sorry, but mine don't. I have checked carefully when looking for pinhole reset and there are no screws holding them in. Am I looking at wrong area? These are situated close to the inside top of the banjo case, well above heater elements. Can't see anything else

That's the ones. Remove the 2 scews at 9 o'clock and 3 on the banjo. Then u will see the screws that hold them in. They will have pin holes your looking at the underneath part try the top.

Well done , just make sure the condenser is clear otherwise it will go again.
