Why should a thermostat repeatedly fail??
in september 2013 I ordered, and replaced the thermostats on a creda 37754 tumble dryer. the dryer worked well until about two weeks ago when the same symptoms re- occured. i.e. a lot of cool air but no heat. It strange that the thermostats have failed in such short period of time and therefore I would like to know if there are diagnostics i should have carried out before fitting the new thermostats.

This is a very common problem experienced by customers with this type of dryer (until somebody explains why it happens). The safety cut out is mounted above the heater so if the motor failed heat would rise and cause it to trip preventing a fire. If you interrupt the dryer before it has finished its cool down cycle the heat from the element can cause this to fail. Always run the dryer to the end of the cycle or if you think it has dried enough then turn the machine onto the cool down phase (last ten minutes) to remove the heat and protect this cut out.
