What’s wrong with my condenser tumble dryer?

My tumble has been blowing cold air, and I cannot understand why!

It sounds, smells and looks fine when turning, except its cold. I have checked all the vent bits that are removable or easily removable with a screwdriver, nothing seems amiss, or blocked. No lights come on to suggest an issue. It’s 6 years old, but not heavily used so it feel early for it to give up the ghost!

hoping someone can provide suggestions before I cave and call someone.

thank you!!

The heating element may have gone. You’ll need a repair person, or a new dryer, depends what’s more cost effective.

@Tipperttruck how do i know its cold?? Yes i am climbing in for a spin?? Because my clothes aren’t drying and they are cold and to the touch after being in there? Lol

@Pigeonqueen thank you, that makes sense, i didn’t even consider that, i will google!
