Quite often the most common issue you can have with a tumble dryer is no heat. Sometimes it can be lint causing a blockage that is the problem (which can also cause bad odours), due to the build up. Smells can also indicate unclean filters) or the heater could have an issue, such as a faulty element. You may find the thermostat has tripped or may be damaged.
Occasionally the drum may stop turning, therefore clothes won’t dry properly. Luckily it is usually a common fix. Sometimes a belt may need to be replaced, or the motor may have an issue. Sometimes the machine won’t start at all, which could be down to the switch being faulty. It could also be a case of overheating and not being vented correctly.
You may find that your tumble dryer is making a noise when it is turning. This can be due to the jockey wheels or bearings having an issue. Occasionally the felt pads can have wear and tear. Sometimes people stack both their tumble dryer and washing machine, which can cause damage due to the vibrations. You may notice a leak, which could indicate the water tank (if you have a condenser dryer) hasn’t been poured away, or put back properly.
