mjn Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Whilst we're on the subject of home appliance repair... We've got an Indeset condenser dryer that keeps tripping the houses electrics when it's been running. I'm guessing it's a short circuit somewhere in the tumble dryer but am at a loss where to look. Anyone got any ideas before I go and spank £200 on a new one? I've checked the obvious things like fuses. Probably a faulty heater element drawing too much current.

Got some excellent technicians on there who you can explain the problem to and they'll answer it for you and keep answering until it is resolved. You only have to pay if they cure the problem. Have to give a donation but it only cost me £11 and my own time repairing it, a lot better than getting someone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any ideas before I go and spank £200 on a new one? I've checked the obvious things like fuses. On my washer/dryer it was the thermostatic switch for the air extractor. They are a fail safe and will trip if the air is too hot, or in my case, it was buggered. I replaced it a few times before giving in to the fact that it'll always trip when the machine is on, so now its just a washer/nothing. It was also a bit of a pig to get to, lid off, and you had to take the air extractor lid off, which had very hidden bolts. Buy a clothes horse, they're only £5!

Cheers, I'll go do a bit of research on the heater elements Just Answers is the site I used to solve mine.

I've seen someone mention that site before actually, it's a really good idea. I'm going to try and exhaust my google-fu before trying it, but when I inevitably end up still not fixing it, this site will be helpful!

Cheers, I'll check out how to get access to the switch and how much a replacement will be. We've got a few clothes horses dotted around the house but we're running in to problems with damp now so really want to get the TD sorted. Also, being young and poor means we have a small house, I don't want it being made smaller by filling it with clothes stands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I did but couldn't find the answer anywhere so used these as a last resort. They do know their stuff on there though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
