I have just read the op properly Names check the drive belt it may be stretched and not turning the drum properly .

Edit OH has just said it might be the drum bearing, we had to put a bearing in our washing machine that was banging about.

Are you sure the dryer needs replacing? They can sound awful banging and even moving if the vent piping is blocked even slightly. Sometimes all that is needed is a good cleaning of the piping.

They do a vented one too I think Names

Thanks LG, but as we have a big hole in the outside wall it seems sensible to get a vented one.

It is really the simplicity we want rather than umpteen. programmes. We usually hang the washing out so often it is just a short finishing off. If the rains ever come back then it is the whole load.

(Maybe it is just that I don’t like machines telling me what to do ;-) )

I have a Beko sensor condenser dryer which is brilliant. No outside vent needed and it switches off as soon as the washing is dry so saving energy. All my appliances are this make and no problems at all. I have had Beko products for many years and they have always been reliable and good value for money :-)

Sounds just right. Is it theD80? I can’t see ant that cheap so far.

Hi Names, I have just bought a new vented tumble dryer last week. Its an 8kg Indesit.
Has a timer in minutes from 20-150, high heat or low and has reverse action drying too. Very simple and exactly what I needed. Was £220 I think.

I bought it from Amazon

Any advice? We have decided to replace our ancient tumble dryer which bangs mightily when drying. You choose the time kength and hotter or cooler.
All the new ones seem to have around 16 programmes. We want to just bung in the washing and dry it ( having taken out anything that can’t tumble dry).
Any advise on a simple vented one please?
We have using the easiest choice a lot lately - washing line in the gsrden :-D
