Tumble dryer has stopped spinning.
Hi there, my tumble dryer is old and I have replaced the thermostat a
few times and that's always kept it going. The other night I smelt a burning smell like that of rubber burning and I noticed that the dryer had stopped spinning but was still heating up. I took the back cover off and on the bottom left hand corner there is a sort of wheel with vents in it (it spins very fast when working) and I gave that a turn just by manually pushing it a few times and the machine started working again without any burning smell. The thing is I've had to do that a few times now as the machine stops spinning intermittently. I'm guessing it might be the rubber band that makes the basket spin? I don't know how to get at it though. I can't see where the screws come off so I can see where the rubber band is. Do you think it would be the rubber band? I don't know why pushing the wheel at the back makes it work. It's like it's stuck or something. The machine is a Creda Concorde 311. It's a small compact tumble dryer not the normal size kind. Thanks for any advice. |
