I have a Hoover VHC681B that stops after approx 1 minute and all the lights are flashing

The heater element has failed, both sensors on the heater casing are ok. Is there anything else that could be wrong or require checking as the machine is not yet two years old

    It is important to allow tumble driers to complete there cycle as many will run a cool down cycle to remove the heat from the element. If stopped early this can cause the element to overheat and fail. Check the condenser if fitted is not blocked with fluff as this too can cause overheating and failure.
