Useful checks before you contact us
- Confirm the plug and socket are working and the appliance powers on.
- Clean the lint filter and, where applicable, check the condenser or heat-exchanger area is not blocked.
- Note whether the drum turns, whether heat is produced and whether the cycle stops early.
- Photograph any error code or the appliance rating label if accessible.
Do not dismantle panels or bypass safety devices. If there is burning, smoke or an electrical smell, stop using the appliance and isolate it safely.

Tumble dryer repair FAQ
Can a dryer that runs without heat be repaired?
Often the cause is diagnosable, but the repair depends on the appliance design and the failed component. Send the model and symptoms first so the visit can be prepared properly.
Should I keep using a noisy tumble dryer?
If the noise is new, severe or accompanied by burning smells, stop using the appliance and arrange an assessment rather than continuing to run it.
Do you automatically book a visit when I message?
No. The enquiry is reviewed first and a visit is only agreed once the fault, postcode and availability have been confirmed.
