Got my big pants on today and split the dryer assembly: it was like rats had been nesting and died in there. The fan assembly was solid as if it had sucked in a filter or something. A lot of elbow grease and wd40 its much cleaner. Now I’ve set it to run for 150 mins, with the heating element detached, to hopefully blow out any more rubbish and allow the solvent time to evaporate before adding any heat. Fingers crossed.

I tried to split it open, undid the 6 or so T20 torx but it didn’t want to come apart. Saw B&Q are selling it for £130 delivered so didn’t continue for now. May look again in the morning. Thanks again.

There is some horrible white powder coming out where the air enters the drum. Strip the fan unit down?
thanks Dave

Tripped after 10 mins, fan still running

Fan starts up after about 5 mins (external fan)

Thanks, is that the fan on top of the assembly or the internal one?
