How can I test dryer thermostat is working correctly

I have an indesit IDV65(UK) tumble dryer which I think might be getting too hot. At the start of the cycle the drum appears to rotate OK but when the dryer gets hot it starts to rotate more slowly. Is there a way I can test the thermostats to ensure they are operating at the correct temperatures ? What temperatures should the two thermostats open at ? Thanks

    If suspect replace the thermostats, you may have a motor capacitor problem see: How to Diagnose Tumble Drier Motor and Noise Problems : www.espares.co.uk/advice/9/2051 or How to Diagnose Tumble Drier Drying and Heating Problems: www.espares.co.uk/advice/9/2050
