Once I found the screw hidden behind the timer knob.
Now I have a pile of sheet metal a drum and a door on the garage floor
held together with wiring looms. Oh yes, and a tin of screws.
I've replaced the drum spindle and rear bearing and its holder.
Just waiting for the new drive belt to arrive.
But will I ever get it back together again? Anyone got assembly
instructions?
What for? A Creda tumble dryer of course!!

Ah. I'm sure you'll do it!

Why do you need to do that? Can't you remember where things fit and
screws go as you take something apart? Also it's very rare for
something to completely reassemble with somethig in the wrong place,
even if you have to back track a bit to correct the bit that is
wrong.

However, with a Haynes manual, you can at least look back to see what
the removal procedure is.

I find that varies, according to how long the gap between the two is.
Sometimes parts can take weeks to arrive.

In one of my businesses used to video production procedures that we
didn't set up very often (sometimes the setting time was so long that it
justified making a year or two's stock in one go) as even written
instructions were not always adequate.

Also it's very rare for
something to completely reassemble with somethig in the wrong place,
even if you have to back track a bit to correct the bit that is
wrong.

More difficult is deciding where the bit you have left over at the end
should have gone.

It reminds me of the Phillips VCR instructions I used to have on how to
replace the lacing cord.
Lots of pretty pictures, arros and screw numbers and little bits, all
placed carefully aside and it came apart a dream. Then it said, take new
chord and assemble in reverse order. Yerwot?


Just as well I did remember.
I guess a lot of these daft mechanical things will be a thing of the past
when they design the non moving parts washing machine....

I admire hour confidence on the design of person proof assembly.

Don,t remind me. Many many years ago swmbo complained about a rattle coming from her tumble dryer. True enough turning it by hand a rattle could be heard from the bearing in the centre of the back plate on the drum. Seeing no other way I dismantled the whole bloody thing to get the drum out to then discover that actually the small cover plate accessible from the inside was actually removable. F**k it

And the rattle? Bloody hair clip had managed to find its way inside this cover.

And the there was the time I dismantled the entire cable winding mechanism of an Electrolux vacuum trying to trace a wiring fault which was stopping the machine from running.

Transpired stupid wagon hadn't emptied the bag in such a long time the auto stop mechanism had cut in.

I don't think Haynes do a tumble dryer manual.

Though it might be out of print now. I can only find a Dishwasher one

I did once spend a week stepping over a disemboweled washing
machine in the middle of the kitchen, waiting for a part...
