Hi all,
Well, I got my tumble dryer working again by just cleaning the nylon
gears in the tumble/reverse timer with solvent; the grease on them had
congealed and hardened and forced them out of mesh (they don't run in
proper bearings).
So fine in that regard. However, as some people warned me, the power to
the heating elements is no longer there so it looks like one or more
thermal cut-outs have tripped (presumably when the drum stopped turning
owing to the earlier problem).
So.... where can I find these cut-outs and what do they look like?
cheers,

If yours is one like those at the very bottom, look carefully at the
black body between the two metal tags and see if there is a hole. If
there is, pushing something thin in (I've used the back end of a needle)
will usually reset it.
