Tumble dryer problems MEGATHREAD


Recommended Posts

Hello all

I have stupidly broken my Tumble Dryer :(

an item of clothing was jammed in the drum. The air blows through but the drum will not rotate....

Any suggestions???

It cost around £100 2 yrs ago....

Help ....

Do I - Call someone out to repair it and It cost me a call out fee and parts ?

Or - Just Go and buy another ?

 

Any suggestions are very Welcome...

A boring thread but just cannot decide what to do :confused:

 

Thanx x

Before calling someone out, I would unscrew the back panel ( unplug from the mains first of course!) and check that the belt is not broken or been forced off the pulleys on the motor and drum. The drum is driven by a belt powered by a motor and if the drum isn't turning this is the most common cause. A new belt shouldn't cost more than about a fiver.

:( It gave out an almighty 'thunk', and I decided it was best to turn it off :shocked:

 

We hadn't budgeted for a new drier this month :(

 

Mad suggestions for clothes drying much appreciated (coz I need cheering up ;) )

 

*goes to find screwdriver*
