Drum reversing

I had a Hotpoint dryer model TVM55A. When drum reverses from anti clockwise to clockwise it reverses straight away. When drum reverses from clockwise to anti clockwise it starts to run slow clockwise but then does eventually reverse to anti clockwise. Can you advise on the part to rectify this problem. I have bought and changed the drum bearing kit and although it did need changing this has not cured the problem. When the drum is running slow in the clockwise position before reversing into the anti clockwise position I can see the red heater elements through the back of the drum. As I have not had any reason to look into the drum before, is this normal.

    You would need to check the dryer circuit with a multimeter to test the components, we have a video to help www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph1oCRrvXO4 just copy and paste into your browser.
