Hotpoint tumble dryer
Fault
The dryer made an unusual noise while the drum was turning.
- Assessment
- Inspection of the belt, drum supports and motor pulley found a worn drive belt that was no longer running cleanly.
- Work
- We fitted the correct replacement belt, checked its seating and reassembled the dryer.
- Parts
- Tumble-dryer drive belt.
Checks and outcome
After checking movement by hand, a test load confirmed correct belt tracking and steady drum rotation. The unusual running noise had cleared.
