Zanussi TDS382W Dryer?

Zanussi TDS382W Dryer

My dryer is operating perfectly well except that there is no heat whatsoever (i.e. it is cold drying). I have taken it apart superficially and cleaned the various filters etc but everything looks to be in working order - the heating element looks fine as well.

Having done some research ppl seem to suggest it is a thermostat problem - is this a frequent problem for this model? Also how do i dismantle it - does anyone have a guide?

Thanks
