Re: Hoover HDV6 Tumble Dryer, Grinding Noise

took a trip down makro today, the 6kg same tumble dryer i have now but a newer model of course was just £99, may as well get a new one instead of paying £90 for a repair. I might get a condensing one instead though, £50 more but no venting as I always had trouble with the other ones hose. There any advantages of one over the other apart from the need to vent ???

Yeh I did register with hoover, but the callout fee seemed a little steep.

Had a phonecall back from the local shop today, they said they have found the fault and that the motor has gone, coming in at over £100 to fix and replace.

Suddenly the £90 hoover fee doesnt look so bad, or should I just stump up £150 for a new one 🙁

Ive taken it down the local indepdent engineers shop, they offer a free quote of whats wrong/how much to fix the appliance if you take it to them yourself. So its a wait and see.

sounds expensive. Would I be better off getting someone private to look at this or paying hoover the £89 call out fee. its only 18 months old so im just out of the parts and labour warranty 🙁
