This could be a common problem.....it may be the thermostat(s) that have tripped and need replacing. Mine go every 12months or so (not a White Knight).

They are releatively easy to replace if you know where they are. Do a search on fleebay for the replacement parts.

The element failed in our last dryer, I replaced it, and it lasted two weeks! Not because I'd done it wrong, but a piece of metal from an underwired bra had come out and gone through the back of the drum.

WARNING.

If the thermostats are of those circular types that go blip-blip like jam jar lids, be warned. The low temp one is resettable, but the high temp one does not reset and stays open circuit.
