I hope everyone is well. I have been working 75 hour weeks recently, so haven't been in touch much.
I do however, have one query, which I have been meaning to ask for a while now.
I have a Hoover Electron Dryer- but it seems to heat up far too much.
The last time I used it, the plug melted to the socket and blew all the electrics. Someone on here kindly advised me to change the plug- which I did, however the problem is ongoing.
The drum gets so hot- it cannot be touched It's like it's overheating- after about 20 minutes.
I really want to get it working, as from the few times I have used it, it seems to be very efficient.
Cheers for any advice, anyone may have :)

It might have a build up of fluff somewhere so the first thing to do would be to open it up and give it a good clean out. If that does not help the next thing to look at is any thermostats and TOCs (thermal overload cut-outs).

dust/fluff

gave it a good vacuuming out when I got it, so that cannot be the problem ! I was thinking maybe the thermostat
