The machine does not reach the correct temperature about 45 degrees Celsius maximum, if I open the door, depress the cut off switch and turn the machine on, the elements do glow, and turn off. Any ideas what may be the problem? Kind Regards Andy.

Andy, How did you know about it? What is the original problem? Does it take much longer time to dry a load or there is something else wrong? Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric DCLR333ET1WW Electric dryer \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
