Common tumble dryer faults we repair

Most dryer faults are either heat, airflow, drum movement, sensor or electrical problems.

Tumble dryer not heating Often caused by heater faults, thermostats, thermal cut-outs, sensors or airflow restrictions.
Clothes not drying properly Poor drying can be caused by blocked filters, condenser issues, sensors, heaters or airflow problems.
Drum not turning Possible causes include belt faults, motor issues, pulleys, bearings or control faults.
Noisy tumble dryer Noises can come from bearings, rollers, fans, motors, loose items or worn moving parts.
Dryer overheating Overheating should be checked quickly because it can point to airflow restrictions or safety component faults.
Dryer not starting Door switches, timers, controls, power supply problems and safety cut-outs can stop the dryer running.

Routine maintenance & best practice

A clogged filter or blocked airflow path is behind most avoidable tumble dryer breakdowns. A few simple habits keep things running efficiently.

Clean the lint filter after every load The single most important habit. A clogged filter restricts airflow, forces the dryer to work harder and hotter, and is a fire risk if ignored.
Empty the water tank every use On condenser and heat pump models, empty the reservoir after every cycle — a full tank can trigger fault codes or stop the dryer running.
Rinse the condenser monthly On condenser dryers, remove and rinse the condenser unit under a tap at least once a month to clear trapped lint and keep it running efficiently.
Clear the vent hose (vented models) Lint and debris build up in the exhaust hose over time. Clear it roughly every three months to keep drying times down.
Don't overload the drum Packing in too much restricts airflow and puts extra strain on the drum belt, motor and heating element.
Give it space to ventilate Avoid squeezing the dryer into a tight space — it needs room around the back and sides to breathe properly.
