Tumble dryer repair in London
Vented, condenser and heat pump dryers. Taking three cycles to dry a load is a fault, not a characteristic.
Faults we see most often
If yours is doing one of these, we have almost certainly fixed it before.
Not heating
A failed element or thermostat on a conventional dryer, or a heat pump problem on a newer one. Either way the drum turns and nothing dries.
Taking hours to dry
Blocked filters, a clogged condenser or a heat pump evaporator packed with lint. Very common, and usually cured on the visit.
Drum not turning
A snapped belt or a seized roller. You will hear the motor running with nothing happening.
Noisy or squealing
Worn drum bearings, rollers or jockey wheels. Cheap parts, and much cheaper caught early.
Water not collecting in the tank
A blocked pump or a failed water sensor on a condenser dryer, which then leaves the water on your floor instead.
Will not start at all
Usually the door switch or the thermal cut-out, rather than anything expensive.
What to expect
Most dryers that just do not dry any more are not broken in the expensive sense — they are blocked. Lint works its way past the filters and into the condenser or the heat pump, and the machine slowly loses its ability to shift moisture.
That is a straightforward strip and clean, and the difference afterwards is immediate. It is also worth doing for fire safety: a lint-packed dryer runs hotter than it should.
Heat pump dryers are more involved but very repairable, and given what they cost to replace, almost always worth diagnosing properly first.
