Mend Zanussi TC481W Machine Years Worked

Zanussi, TC481W condenser dryer.- Won't dry quickly enough?

Hi,
I've had this machine for about 8 years. Worked perfectly until now. Clothes are not drying or drying very, very slowly, even though they are hot to touch when I open the door. Usually dries a load in about 60 minutes but it does not make a lot of difference if I leave on for 90 mins now. Makes a noise as if it is spinning but not sure if it the reverse action is still working.
And the water receptacle is not full .

Any ideas?
Thanks

pull the condensor out at the bottom and look through it end to end.it should be as clear as looking through it side to side!.wash it through with a pressure washer or hose.shake dry and then refit and test.take lid off to check belt is around drum as no rotation of drum will cause issue plus this could be a faulty element where only half of it works
