Hotpoint tdc30p tumble drier - not heating up

[Deneo66]

Hello

I was hoping someone could help me out:

It wasn't heating up so I cleaned all filters and replaced both thermostats and the heating element - still no heat. I temporarily bypassed the thermostats but still no heat. I also noticed the "drying" indicator lamp is not illuminating.

Thanks in advance

Heater relay at fault on the Pcb

Much appreciated Rocks1

Is the relay the clear(brown)plastic component positioned to the left of the heater selector and on off switches. (looking from the front of the dryer)
I don't want to throw too much money at the repair but it is now getting "personnal"

I will purchase one and give it a whirl - could it be anything else do you think while I'm ordering (to save on postage)

Many thanks for your help

Sorry I did forget to mention that the motor does work and doesn't cut out. It's just the heating process that doesn't work

No it's not that. The Pcb is in the top right hand corner , and on that is a relay box try and look for a dry joint on the Pcb , just go over it with a soldering iron otherwise a new Pcb is req. If you can match the relay from maplins / rs cost is penny's.

Once again thanks.

I'll do just that and I'll post back to let you know how I got on.

Cheers
