My clothes dryer is odd ! .... told you it was off ...off topic.
It runs for 30 seconds and stops. Ive cleaned the filter, the delay start is off ....
Ive had it for about 8 years and it was second hand when i got it .... maybe just age.
Any thoughts ?

What brand/model? Most manuals can be found online with a bit of searching and they will have instructions on how to read error codes (are any lights flashing when it stops?)

Timmo , found a manual , and got it sorted. A build up of fluffy stuff in a around the door sensor. Blew it out , cleaned the door seal , and away it went .
Thanks for the tips .... the internet never fails to amaze me .... and this forum.

Splitpin, Just in case...If you are able take the back cover off and check for fluff build up around or near the heating element also. Easy to ignite.

Im trying to educate these flatmates (they should know) that a 5kg dryer , WONT cope with 10kg of wet washing. If it go's tits up again , they can replace it.
Now the bloody roof is leaking and the spring on the dishwasher door is broken ....what next
