The repair guide
Tumble dryers come as vented, condenser and heat-pump machines, and the type shapes both the fault and the best fix. Drying that slows over a few months usually points to blocked airflow or a lint build-up, with a fading heater or sensor often behind it.
A condenser dryer needing two or three cycles for one wash is usually a failing heater or sensor, or airflow fouled inside. A vented unit in a garage that has grown slower often has a congested vent path or duct.
Spin dryers are covered too. One that hums without turning, or spins but leaves the clothes wet, usually has a worn belt, brake or motor, or a lid switch that no longer makes contact.
The engineer first checks the lint filter, the airflow and the vent. A heater working against restricted airflow can fail early, so clearing the block sometimes restores the dryer with no part needed.
Dryers often live in a garage, basement or outbuilding rather than the kitchen. Knowing where it stands and how the vent runs lets the engineer reach it quickly and prepare the right tools.
The labour for diagnosis and repair sits in a fixed quote. Belts, motors, heaters and drum rollers are priced separately and fitted only after you approve each one. On a heat-pump machine the refrigerant gas may also be involved, a separate point the engineer flags clearly.
Where the motor or heater on an older dryer has worn out, the repair can outrun the value of the machine. The total is compared honestly with the price of a new dryer, and replacement is recommended where it clearly makes more sense.
What is it doing?
One symptom can have several causes. The engineer tests before recommending a part, so you only pay for what is needed.
Tumble dryer · symptom 1
A failed element or heat pump, a tripped thermal cut-out or a faulty sensor.
Clean the lint filter and, for a condenser, the condenser unit. If it’s still cold, stop using it.
Tumble dryer · symptom 2
A snapped drive belt, worn drum bearings or rollers, a door switch or a motor fault.
Check the door is closing firmly. If you hear the motor hum without the drum moving, switch off.
Tumble dryer · symptom 3
Restricted airflow, a blocked vent hose, a full condenser, or a sensor reading the load wrongly.
Clear the filter, empty the water tank and check the vent hose isn’t crushed behind the machine.
Tumble dryer · symptom 4
Noises, smells, error codes or a cycle that stops partway. One symptom can have several causes.
Tell us what it’s doing, when it started and any code on the display. Working out why is our job.
What it costs
No call-out surprises and no parts fitted on spec. This is how your tumble dryer repair is priced.
See my labour priceSet by the appliance, its make, how it is fitted and your postcode. It covers diagnosing the fault and the repair work.
If a part is needed, the engineer explains which one and what it costs. Nothing is fitted until you agree.
If age, condition or the total cost means a new tumble dryer makes more sense, you hear it before any part is ordered.

The fixed labour quote is shown online before booking and covers the diagnosis and repair. Any belt, motor, heater or sensor replacement is quoted separately and fitted only with your approval.
Slow drying usually comes from a blocked airflow path or a failing heater or sensor on condenser and heat-pump models. The engineer can diagnose the cause and advise whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Suitability depends on the model, installation and fault. Share the exact model and whether the dryer is vented, condenser or heat-pump when requesting a visit so coverage can be confirmed before attendance.
