Tumble Dryers

Most reported faults on Dryers usually consist of no heat or no drum action or noisy . Most of the time on certain models these can be a cost effective repair by replacing thermostats ,belts , tensioners, or elements.     below are a few tips you can check.

Vented dryers 

Always Check the fluff filter is cleaned before each use.

Check the rear extraction hose or cavity wall fitting  is not kinked or blocked ( you can confirm this by checking for airflow at the outside vent).

Some dryers have a thermostat reset button at the rear of appliance.

If your dryer has autosense features and shows no heat you could try the timed programs and some times they could work instead.

if your dryer is warm but not hot check you have not pressed low heat setting by mistake.

Condensor dryers

 Most of above also apply .

Another thing to check is that the condensor unit is not blocked this would not stop the dryer from working but would cause the dryer to take much more time to dry garments. The condensor unit can easily be removed and cleaned by using outside hosepipe or shower head.

Because of the cost of replacement dryers sometimes a repair is not always cost effective due to age use or model and we would always advise if that was the case.

As always we would quote for cost of repair before completing any work.
