About Vented Tumble Dryer Repair

Vented tumble dryers are the most traditional type. They draw in room-temperature air, heat it, tumble your clothes in it, then expel the warm moist air through a flexible hose vented to the outside — typically through a wall vent or window.

Because they have fewer components than condenser or heat pump models, vented dryers are generally the most straightforward and affordable to repair. Our engineers carry common parts and resolve most faults on the first visit.

We cover all major vented tumble dryer brands including Hotpoint, Indesit, Beko, Bosch, Candy, Hoover, Siemens, AEG, Whirlpool, Zanussi and more.

Frequently asked questions

How long do vented tumble dryers last?
A well-maintained vented tumble dryer typically lasts 10–15 years. The simpler mechanism means fewer components to fail compared to condenser or heat pump models.
Is it worth repairing a vented tumble dryer?
Yes, in most cases. Repairs typically cost £65–£160, compared to £150–£400+ for a replacement. If your machine is under 8 years old or a premium brand, repair is almost always the better financial choice.
What is the most common vented dryer fault?
A broken drive belt that stops the drum turning. This is a straightforward repair most engineers complete on the first visit, usually within 30–45 minutes.
Does the vent hose need to go outside?
Yes. The hose must always vent to outside air — through a wall vent, window, or door. Venting into a confined space causes damp and will damage the machine.

“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, replaced the heating element and the oven has worked perfectly since. Saved buying a new one at over 600 pounds.”
