Before tackling any issues it is important to think about safety first. You should read the instruction manual prior to attempting any DIY work, this could save you from needing a tumble dryer repair.
Your tumble dryer takes too long to dry your clothes:
This is a common fault and shouldn’t require a tumble dryer repair. It’s simply down to lint.
We would recommend trying to clean the door filter each and every time you use the tumble dryer this will save on energy and reduce the time it takes to dry your clothes. If you do not clean out your lint regularly then this could lead to a fire.
If none of the above has helped with drying time, call our team of Pershore based tumble dryer repair experts who will come and repair your machine or book a repair online.
Your clothes always leave the dryer wrinkled:
This is another common problem that shouldn’t require a tumble dryer repair. This problem is usually resolved by taking your clothing out of the dryer as soon as it has finished. You should then fold or hand your clothes immediately, so wrinkles do not have time to set in. If this doesn’t resolve your issue then your load of washing is possibly too big or small for your tumble dryers drum size.
We would recommend reviewing the washing stage prior to drying in case this is having an effect on preventing wrinkled clothing. Factors such as not using fabric softener, using the wrong cycle or not sorting laundry correctly could cause increased wrinkling or unnecessary wrinkles in your clothes.
As a rule of thumb, combining heavy and light clothing causes more wrinkles when tumble drying.
Your tumble dryer has become noisy:
If your tumble dryer becomes noisier then it could be down to moving parts. This is a sign that you need our engineers to help. To book our Pershore based tumble dryer repair experts, please get in touch with us or book an appointment using our 24/7 online booking form.

We would suggest making a note of what kind of noise the machine is making because a humming, squeaking or rattling sound are caused by different problems.
Tumble dryers need to be maintained and regularly cleaned to ensure you achieve the best drying results. We would recommend doing a monthly wash through of your heat exchange unit or your foam filter which can be found in front of your heat pump evaporator. By doing this, you will save on Energy and your tumble dryer will last longer.
