Common tumble dryer faults.

Tumble dryer problems can involve heating, airflow, drive components, sensors or electrical controls. PrimeFix diagnoses the fault first so the correct repair route can be considered.

Tumble dryer not heating

A dryer that runs but produces little or no heat may have a heating, sensor, airflow or electrical fault that needs proper diagnosis.

Tumble dryer not turning

If the drum does not rotate, the fault may involve the drive belt, motor, drum system or another mechanical or electrical component.

Tumble dryer taking too long to dry

Poor drying performance can be linked to airflow restrictions, heating problems, sensors or other faults affecting efficiency.

Tumble dryer stopping mid-cycle

Unexpected stopping can be caused by overheating, sensors, electrical controls or another component fault.

Tumble dryer making unusual noises

Grinding, scraping, knocking or squealing can indicate problems with bearings, rollers, the drum system or drive components.

Tumble dryer electrical faults

No power, tripping electrics, intermittent operation or fault codes may require electrical diagnosis before the correct repair is clear.

Should you repair or replace your tumble dryer?

The sensible decision depends on the fault, age and condition of the dryer, parts availability and the likely repair cost.

Repair may make sense when…

The dryer is otherwise in good condition and the fault can be repaired economically with suitable parts.

Replacement may make sense when…

The appliance is older, has multiple faults or the likely repair cost is disproportionate to its condition and value.

Diagnose before deciding

Identifying the actual fault gives you better information before spending money on either repair or replacement.
