I will try and help with this problem with your Hoover VHC 680C–80 tumble dryer

Hi Helen I do apologize for the late response​, thank you very much for including your model number ​Mod: VHC 680C – 80 N:3110039812320071​ ​

The thermostats on this machine are part of the heating system. Hoover does not sell them separately. I’m sorry to tell you it does make it more expensive. I have included the part below which you need and also a useful video on how to replace the heating element, I have also included some other videos which will help you maintain your tumble dryer
