Dryers are one of the most useful and convenient appliances in the home – but when they break, it can be a nightmare! Unfortunately, often the best option is to get a professional repairman in to look at the issue. But there are still ways you can try to fix a tumble dryer yourself – with the right advice and some tools, most people should be able to fix common issues they come across.

The first action to take is to find out what type of tumble dryer you have. Depending on the make and model, you may need to purchase specific parts, look for wiring diagrams or watch instructional videos. It’s important to understand the functionality of the dryer and its parts, as this will prevent you from making mistakes.

Once you’ve figured out the basics, the next step is to assess the situation and determine the problem. This can be done through basic troubleshooting. First, check to see whether the outlet is properly connected and the circuit breaker is working. Also make sure that the door latch is operating properly. If everything looks normal and the dryer is still not working, then the issue may be due to an electrical issue, a faulty part or a fault with the motor.

If you’ve determined that the issue is electrical, you’ll need to check the wiring and connections to make sure they’re secure. Take a look at the wires running from the motor to the circuit board and make sure they’re all connected properly. If the connections are loose, tighten them with a screwdriver. If the issue isn’t related to the wiring, the issue could be with the thermostat or another component.

When it comes to checking faulty parts, you’ll need to check the filter and make sure that any clogs are cleared. If a heating element is the culprit, make sure it is plugged in correctly and that the heating element is working correctly. Inspect the drum belt, too – if it’s loose, you’ll need to replace it. You may also find that the vent may be blocked, which will cause the dryer to overheat and shut off.

Finally, if it turns out to be the motor, you’ll need to check for any frayed or worn wires or a broken motor. If either of these issues is the cause, then you’ll need to replace the motor. TEL 07784844744 NO CALL OUT CHARGE
