Help with dryer

[Liam111]

Hi,

Wondering if you could offer some advice if possible?

I have a Bloomberg tumble dryer (condenser – repair guy said it was a heat pump, but I’m not sure). It’s about 18 months old.

The model number is LTK2802W made by Bloomberg.

About 2 weeks ago, it developed a fault whereby it will power on and “start”, but the drum will not move at all. My first assumption was the belt had gone.

It has a 3 year warranty, so the service guy came and removed the lid, and to my surprise, it was not the belt.

The repair guy said it was the capacitor. He showed me by demonstrating that when you press start with the lid off and push the drum manually, it goes round as normal.

However, it will only go one way round, when the machine pauses to reverse the tumble, it won’t turn the opposite way upon being manually pushed; the machine will pause again and I can push it manually to start going round the original way.

The engineer did not have the necessary part on his van for my model of machine, although he had a few for other models.

Is this an easy fix do you know?i have been waiting a week now for the needed part.

Thanks

Liam

If it’s in warranty then it’ll probably be a motor he’s ordered and my advice, wait.

Thanks for your reply.

I know it seems pushy after just one week, but not had the dryer now for nearly 3 weeks. Just suppose I don’t appreciate what my appliances do for me until they’re not available anymore 🙂

Thanks
