Two of the most common faults with tumble dryers are:
1. No Heat
This is normally due to failure of the heating element/s or thermostat/s with the thermostats being the more prone to failure

Cause's of the above to fail more frequently are failure to clean filters on a regular basis, overloading with clothing ie:causing poor air flow through the dryer and blocked (if you have it vented through the wall check the outside vent cover also) or kinked vent hoses which again causes poor air flow

Also note that vent hoses should not be to long the maxium should be about 8 to 9 feet as once these become to long the steam vapour produced from the drying will condense back to water before it gets to the end of the hose and can then run back into the dryer causing problems

2. Drum not Turning
Belts are normally fitted around the main drum and the motor pulley with often a belt pulley/s to tension the belt, Its important to obtain the correct belt otherwise incorrect length of belt will either cause the belt
to slip or cause excessive wear on motor and drum bearing if to tight
Likley cause is a broken  or worn drive belt

Appliance repairs should only be undertaken by a qualified or competent person with the electric supply disconnected

Again over loading will cause premature belt failure
