We repair vented, condenser and heat-pump tumble dryers from all the major brands.
What we fix
If your tumble dryer is showing any of these signs, our engineers can usually diagnose and repair it on the first visit.
If the drum turns but clothes stay damp, the heating element, thermostat or thermal fuse has usually failed.
You can hear the motor but the drum stays still. This usually means a snapped drive belt, a worn pulley or a motor fault.
Often caused by a blocked vent, a full lint filter or a faulty thermostat. We clear it and replace faulty parts.
Worn drum bearings, rollers or tension pulleys. Replacing them early protects the motor.
A dryer that will not start can have a door switch, start switch or control fault.
Dryers that cut out mid-cycle usually have a thermostat, sensor or airflow problem.
A failing condenser pump or blocked water channel can leave water on the floor.
Stop using the dryer straight away. Lint build-up and worn parts can be a fire risk.
