Boring Topic Alert! But please help me anyway! Washer/Dryer problem...

Maybe it's only his socks.

Slightly different location on mine, but still easy to access. As I said, I'm lazy. :lol:
Pull-out type? Definitely check that. If the screen is detached or torn, replace it and have the exhaust line cleaned.

And on a related note, my toaster suddenly stopped making toast. So I turned it into a paperweight.

But then it rebelled and took revenge upon all of humanity. :(

Bump for great justice. And great embarrassment for myself.

The dryer got fixed the other day. Wanna know what was wrong?

Safety cut-out got tripped 'cos the machine got too hot. Solution? Press the reset button. 2 minute job once you know. At least the guy who came out discounted his usual call-out charge. :lol:

The machine's manual was no use; I'd never have known about the cut-out button from it - you actually have to open up the machine's innards to find it. But I'll know for next time, and at least I don't need to replace the whole machine so I've actually saved money, really. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

Other things I learnt: my washer-dryer (and apparently most dryers sold here) don't have a venting system, but rather they have an internal condenser. Also means you don't need to check the lint filter as often, since it's all just washed away with the condensed water, which explains why my machine didn't build up much lint despite me not checking it for months.

The more you know...... :D

Glad you dodged the bullet on this one Holdfast. And now you know what to check first if it ever happens again.

That's interesting about the internal lint disposal system. I dont think that would fly here in the US

Totally.

The only "problem" is that I mentally set aside some cash over the past couple of weeks or so for repairs/replacement... and now I'm very tempted just to blow it on a new jacket or something. :lol:

Yeah, surprised me too - I'd have figured it would have fallen foul of some environmental protection law or other. But I guess it all goes into the sewage works for reprocessing anyway, along with much worse than lint, so... :lol:
