Our tumble dryer starting making odd noises today, traced the problem to

Thanks for everyones advice. I took it to my friendly, local motor
rewinder, who replaced the bearings (for a lot less than the 80 odd quid I
was quoted for a replacement motor). The tumble dryer is now tumbling and
drying once more.
