Siemens Tumble Dryer switching itself off

[tiddlywinks]

Hello all
My Siemens Tumble Dryer WT46W566GB keeps switching itself off after about 5-30 seconds despite washing being very damp. Can anyone shed any light on why this might be happening please? Thanks in advance

Does it show any sort of fault code?

No, just stops.

No, just stops.

Stops with, or without, any lights lit?

 

[tiddlywinks]

The light goes off and it stops 5-30 secs after being switched on, the way it used to at the end of a normal cycle.

Can you switch it straight back on again? Have you tried plugging it into a differnt socket? Does the display light up with the door open before you actually set it going? If you hold the start button pressed does it continue to work until you release it?

Its probably got itself in a spin.

That seems to be instant off of motor and controls/display. A normal shutdown sequence usually keep the drum rotating, to cool clothes down, after drying. I would guess at it loosing its supply, via a bad connection (see jj4091's post above), either at the plug, or within the machine itself.
