Default Indesit Tumble Drier Help

Following on from the waching machine thread the other day, does anyone know how to fix an indesit tumble drier. It comes on and spins, but it stays cold. I've emptied the fluff things and water tray. To my expert brain it would seem like the element is knackered. Is there any way of testing?

Somewhere inside the machine Sorry i can't be more specific but as said above it's a wee switch you need to push in.

No, but it might have been before. Could that have been what tripped it? I reset it like u said and it seems to be working. I'll get those from ebay anyway tho to be on the safe side. Cheers
