Which Type of Tumble Dryer?

The original pages cover vented, condenser and integrated dryers; modern AEG ranges also include heat-pump technology. Dryer type changes the likely diagnostic path.

Vented dryerExhaust airflow, vent hose, fan, heater, thermostat/sensor and drum-drive faults.
Condenser dryerCondensate pump, tank, condenser path, heater, airflow and sensing faults.
Heat-pump dryerFilters, heat exchanger, airflow, temperature sensing, compressor/system and control faults.
Integrated dryerDryer faults plus cabinet access, furniture-door alignment and installation considerations.
Independent service: A Brassett Ltd does not imply manufacturer authorisation. AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi appliances are assessed by exact model, product details, fault, access and parts availability.

Dartford Tumble Dryer Coverage

Build a Tumble Dryer Repair Brief

Choose the dryer type and closest symptom, then add the exact model, PNC/Product No., postcode and any error code.

Appliance details

What is the dryer doing?

Tip: the dryer type is particularly useful because vented, condenser and heat-pump machines use different drying systems.

40 Tumble Dryer Fault Routes

Search by symptom. These are possible diagnostic areas and safe first checks, not a remote confirmation of the failed component.

40 fault routes
01No power / completely dead

Possible fault areas: Mains supply, door switch, internal power path, wiring, user interface or control electronics.

Safe first checks: Check the socket safely and confirm the door closes normally. Do not remove covers.

02Will not start

Possible fault areas: Door switch, programme selection, control lock, start button, wiring or control.

Safe first checks: Check the door, programme and any control lock.

03Drum not turning

Possible fault areas: Drive belt, motor, motor capacitor where fitted, drum support or control.

Safe first checks: Stop if there is a burning smell and note whether the motor can be heard.

04Drum turns slowly

Possible fault areas: Drive system, motor, capacitor where fitted, load, drum support or control.

Safe first checks: Try a smaller load and note whether the speed changes.

05No heat

Possible fault areas: Heating element or heat-pump system, thermostat/sensor, airflow, relay/control or wiring.

Safe first checks: Clean user-accessible filters and note whether the drum turns normally.

06Heats but clothes stay damp

Possible fault areas: Airflow restriction, load size, moisture sensing, condenser path or heat-pump performance.

Safe first checks: Clean filters and condenser areas only as described in the user manual.

07Takes too long to dry

Possible fault areas: Overloading, blocked airflow, filters, condenser/heat exchanger, sensor or heating system.

Safe first checks: Try the recommended load and clean user-accessible filters.

08Stops before clothes are dry

Possible fault areas: Moisture sensor, overheating protection, airflow, load, programme or control.

Safe first checks: Try a timed programme and note whether the machine stops at the same stage.

09Runs but stays cold

Possible fault areas: Heater/heat-pump system, temperature sensing, airflow or control.

Safe first checks: Check filters first; internal testing is required to confirm the cause.

10Overheating

Possible fault areas: Airflow blockage, sensor/thermostat, fan, heater control or load issue.

Safe first checks: Stop using if the cabinet becomes abnormally hot or there is a burning smell.

11Trips electrics

Possible fault areas: Heater leakage, motor, compressor on heat-pump models, wiring, moisture ingress or control.

12Burning smell

Possible fault areas: Overheated lint, belt, motor, wiring, heater or another component.

Safe first checks: Stop using immediately and isolate the appliance safely.

13Smoke or sparking

Possible fault areas: Electrical fault, overheating component, wiring or lint ignition risk.

Safe first checks: Stop using immediately, isolate power if safe and do not retry.

14Very noisy

Possible fault areas: Drum rollers/support, motor, fan, foreign object, belt or bearing.

Safe first checks: Stop if the noise is severe, metallic or accompanied by burning.

Safe first checks: Try an empty drum briefly only if there is no burning, smoke or scraping.

18Vibration / banging

Possible fault areas: Load distribution, installation, drum support, cabinet or motor.

Safe first checks: Check the appliance is level and the load is suitable.

19Door will not close

Possible fault areas: Door catch, hinge, seal, alignment or obstruction.

Safe first checks: Check for trapped laundry and visible damage; do not force the door.

20Door opens during cycle

Possible fault areas: Latch, hinge, alignment or door-switch issue.

Safe first checks: Stop using until the door system is inspected.

21Display not responding

Possible fault areas: Control lock, user interface, power issue, wiring or main control.

Safe first checks: Check the control lock and normal reset procedure in the manual.

22Buttons intermittent

Possible fault areas: User interface, moisture, connection or control electronics.

Safe first checks: Record which buttons fail and whether the fault changes after cooling.

23Error code / flashing lights

Possible fault areas: Model-specific sensor, airflow, heater, motor, pump, compressor or control fault.

Safe first checks: Photograph the exact code and rating plate; meanings can vary by model.

24Cycle will not finish

Possible fault areas: Moisture sensing, heating, airflow, motor, drain/pump on condenser types or control.

Safe first checks: Record the programme and time remaining when it stalls.

25Cycle ends too quickly

Possible fault areas: Moisture sensor, load size, programme choice, sensor contamination or control.

Safe first checks: Check the vent path and lint filter.

34Condenser warning / clean filter light

Possible fault areas: Filter, condenser/heat exchanger, sensor or airflow restriction.

Safe first checks: Clean only the parts identified as user-serviceable.

35Lint filter warning remains

Possible fault areas: Filter seating, sensor/airflow path or control.

Safe first checks: Clean and refit the filter carefully.

Safe first checks: This may be separate from the drying fault; record other symptoms too.

40Integrated dryer door/furniture issue

Possible fault areas: Furniture-door alignment, hinge, catch or installation/access issue.

Safe first checks: Do not force the cabinet door; note rubbing or misalignment.

Dryer safety: stop using the appliance for smoke, burning smells, sparking, repeated electrical tripping, severe overheating, damaged wiring or unusual heat around the plug/socket. Lint and restricted airflow can increase overheating risk, so keep user-accessible filters clean in accordance with the appliance instructions.

Tumble Dryer Repair Questions

Do you repair AEG heat-pump tumble dryers Dartford?

Heat-pump dryer faults can be assessed subject to exact model, fault, access, route and parts availability.

Do you repair condenser and vented dryers?

Yes. The diagnostic route differs because airflow, heating and condensate systems are different.

What information helps before booking?

Dryer type, model, PNC/Product No., exact error code, full postcode and a short description of the symptom.

Can an error code confirm the failed part?

Not always. It helps narrow the diagnostic path, but model-specific information and testing may still be required.
