When the washing cycle ends the dryer doesn't start drying. The heater doesn't come on, the drum just continues going round and the drying time dial doesn't count down.
It also doesn't work when just set to dry.
Are there two heating elements in this machine, one for the washing cycle and one for the dryer?
Sorry I'm way late with this but I've only just noticed it. Unplug the machine from the mains! Remove the lid (with a torx screwdriver) and you'll notice a small circular device with 2 leads attached on the top of the machine, in the centre there's a small button, press it and it should click......you've fixed it This is a thermal cutout safety device designed to switch the drying heater off if it becomes too hot. The probable cause for this is that you've over filled the machine and the air didn't circulate freely. as a rule of thumb, dry 1/2 as many clothes as you wash.
Yes, there are two heaters, one for heating water and another one for drying, you need to check if the heater is OK. also there is a temeratrure controller, which may be defective or the blower..

Thanks. I haven't actually taken the machine apart yet - it's in a fitted kitchen and getting the thing out to inspect it looks like it's going to be a pain. Can you suggest the best way to access the components mentioned ie side/top/rear panel removal?
Thanks "marrsian man". I woudn't have realised that button was a breaker.
Brand new Bosch WVD 24520 W/D dryer does not work, or heat up whether on auto setting or other dryer programme setting. The drum does turn and diplay is on, but after 3 minutes the drum stops and there is no heat. I would be very grateful to know what could be the problem. Washes fine!
