candy grand O runs normally for about five minutes and then stops with all lights flashing. Feels a bit hot inside.
Hello! I have tested the two thermostats at the back and the sensor at the front (according to your excellent video) and they seem OK. How can I tell if the problem is with the circuit board? The machine is eight years old but hasn't had a lot of use.

I will try and help with this problem with your Candy Tumble Dryer Please Note without the full model number we can only guide you as all dryers are different
There are 3 common faults when the lights flash on the dryer-these are
- Heater front ntc,
- Thermostat and worse case
- The PCB is faulty 1st thing to check would be the heater. Do you know how to use a multi meter? if so check continuity through the thermostat and ntc on the heater. As you have already checked the thermostats and they appear to be in good working order then I suspect you may have PCB problem. Please watch the video I have included below which will with diagnosing any issues. the video will show you how to check the PCB and relay (about 11 minutes in).
If you have no luck with this then I suggest you send me full model information including pnc number for me to be able to assist you further.
