  • Heat pump dryers — These cost £400–£1,000+ to replace. A repair costing £100–£200 is excellent value.
  • Premium brands (Miele, Bosch, AEG) — Built to last 15+ years; most repairs are worthwhile.
  • Under 5 years old — The machine has plenty of life remaining.

When Replacement May Make More Sense

  • Budget vented dryer (under £200 new) with a motor or control board fault
  • Machine over 12 years old with multiple faults
  • Repair cost exceeds 60% of a new equivalent

The 50% Rule

If the repair costs less than half of a new equivalent, repair is almost always the right financial decision — and the environmentally responsible one too.
