Default broken tumble dryer is this true?

Hi I have a hoover tumble dryer which stopped heating. It still blew cold
air. It was the overload/overheat protection device that failed(do not know
the exact name for it but it was open circuit) I have been told that the
reason it failed was because I use a vent hose out of the window and because
the tumble dryer has to push the air through a 90 degree bend then up 6 feet
then through a window and then pointing down through about 150 degrees this
is why it failed. Also it was very windy when it packed up. I have been
advised to cut a hole through the wall and vent straight out so that there
are no bends in the vent hose. Before I start drilling through the wall is
this advice correct or is the repairman talking a load of rubbish?
Thanks Jackie
