Candy GVS C9DCG-80 Tumble Dryer E22 flashing lights

Turned on today - kept cutting out after a few seconds with E22 code flashing lights. Looked at videos and looks like a thermostat change required. My model number doesn’t come up in any site so unsure of exact one to buy. Can you help please?

I will try and help with this problem...

Both condenser and vented tumble dryers use very similar heating systems. They usually have one or two thermostat or sensors on the front and one or two thermostats on the back on the heating element.
Thermostat’s fail because of several reasons.

1 - the machine is interrupted in mid-cycle without letting the machine cool down (opening the door to check washing can cause this)
2 - bad air flow through the machine (caused by not cleaning filters etc.) 
3 - overloading can restrict air flow

The tumble dryers have normally two thermostats fitted on the heating element housing located on the back. These are prime candidates when diagnosing no heat faults on tumble dryers.
One thermostat is normally the cycle thermostat and the other is a safety this is the one that normally blows when overheating takes place.

The manufacturer only sells the complete heating unit, but we know what thermostat they use so we can direct you to it. This will save you about £20.

I've also included some videos to help you with this repair.
