Most tumble dryer faults come down to heat, airflow or a drum that won't turn. We check the heating circuit, thermal cut-outs, sensors, belt and airflow path, then explain what's needed. Gas tumble dryers must be worked on by a Gas Safe registered engineer, so this service covers electric models.
Common symptoms and faults
- Drum turns but there's no heat
- Drum won't turn
- Takes much longer than usual to dry
- Gets very hot or cuts out
- Squeaking, thumping or grinding
- Water container or condenser warnings that won't clear
Before you book
- The brand and model number – often inside the door rim
- Whether it's vented, condenser or heat-pump, if you know
- Whether you've cleaned the filters recently
- Clear access to the dryer and its vent hose
How diagnosis and repair work
The engineer inspects and tests the appliance to find the cause and explains it to you. If the fault is fixed during the first visit without parts or extra chargeable work, you pay only the agreed call-out / diagnostic fee. If parts or more labour are needed, we explain the cost and ask for your approval before going ahead. Photos you send help us prepare, but the fault is only confirmed on site.
