Need to replace the thermostats by the heating element.
At the back of the machine. take the petruding bearing cover off (2 screws), strenthening bar (4 Screws) & back pannel (6 to 8 screws) to find the heat element. You will see 2 small round things on the top plate with 2 wires either side of them one of them has a green spot . Replace them both . Hotpoint part no 1701583.
