Mend Zanussi TCE7227 Dryer Fault Starts

Zanussi TCE7227 Condensing Tumble Dryer - Intermittent fault?

The dryer starts but suddenly stops again. I have replaced the motor capacitor on a previous occasion and this has checked out OK this time. There is an additional motor starting capacitor which checks out OK and the relay to switch this in operates.
The problem is with intermittent loss of electrical supply to the motor as tested with test meter (the supply comes from the control/pcb board). I have tried the dryer on cold drying and on fixed timer drying (to by-pass the sensor in case this was causing the problem) but still have the same fault. The only other point is that the dryer runs longer (about a minute)when cold before stopping, but runs less than this if it is immediately reset and switched on again.
On the PCB there are 3 relays, one of which I believe controls motor direction only and the others I suspect are for the heaters. (The heaters do appear to work by the way). These relays are all OK.
It appears there is a fault on the PCB but I would like this to be confirmed before forking out for a replacement. I have also heard about these PCB having to be "reset" using a push button combination.
Grateful for any help

Strange but my Zannussi 7227 stopped working the other day. The water level in the tank was at max!. Emptied as usual but when refitted the machine wanted to engage motor but wouldn't turn. The lights all lit up as normal and then the programme jumped to water led flashing. I pulled the machine out and tipped it and rocked slightly as I assume there is a sensor of sorts to stop the drum turning or operating if the tank is full. This did the trick and so far it works fine!!

remove the pcb and resolder the connections.bad solder joints can cause this.think there is a transformer on it and the pins can get bad connections on the solder joints
