  • Our 2yo Samsung tumble dryer with heat pump has stopped heating and therefor working.
    It’s £50 for booking an appointment, £50 when the engineer arrives and then £ for what might need replacing in soonest appointments time 1 month.
    Anyone with experience of how much this might cost?
    Are there any good/ cheaper repair people in SE London for this sort of thing?

    The machine a new equivalent machine is £600

  • It's probably the heating element. Take it apart, disconnect the element and measure the resistance with a multimeter. It should be tens of ohms but will probably be off the scale. The other failure mode is it goes short circuit but that tends to trip your RCD. Buy new element online. Fit.

    There are loads of videos online that show you how to do this. Your exact model probably isn't available but likely one that is similar enough that you can follow it.

  • We've used Steve the spindoctor for a few jobs on washing machines and dishwashers.
    Reliable and reasonable.
    We're in Peckham think he does most of SE London
