If you have a tumble dryer, you may have to deal with the occasional fault. One of the most common faults is with the heating. The thermostat tripping could be the issue, or possibly the heating element is faulty. However, the cause could also be with the drainage in your condenser dryer. Whilst running, water is meant to be sent into the bottom of your dryer, where it is then taken out before the next cycle to empty away. If the tray is not emptied each time you use it, eventually water will build up and overflow into the reservoir. If this has too much water, the float switch will cause the heater to be turned off to protect the machine.
To prevent this from happening, you should always ensure the container gets emptied after each use. The pump should also be checked, which can be done by pouring some water into the tray, to see if it drains away. Once the container is put back, you will be able to tell if it is working as it should, due to the water returning to the container. If you’re not sure whether or not it is functioning properly or if it needs replacing, you should ask us for free advice on your Washer Dryer repairs in Ivybridge.
