Describe early stopping without assuming a sensor fault
Record the programme selected, the approximate point at which it ended and any message displayed. Say whether the load remained damp, whether the drum was turning and whether the same change had occurred in previous normal use. An early end does not by itself prove that a sensor needs replacing. The model and programme information help establish which checks are relevant.
Give the office the dryer’s installation context
Tell us whether the appliance is a heat-pump, condenser or vented dryer if known, and describe its location. Include a stacked installation, confined cupboard or access at height. Note normal user maintenance already completed under the correct handbook. If the machine smells burnt, overheats or shows damage, stop using it; do not run a further cycle simply to reproduce the fault for the booking.
Prepare the model and fault details
Let us know which dryer type you have and whether it is stacked. Stop using a machine that smells burnt or overheats.
- Siemens E-Nr and dryer type, if known.
- Programme selection, approximate stopping point and displayed result.
- Whether the drum turns and how the laundry differs from normal.
- Stacked or enclosed position and maintenance already carried out.
Please include the E-Nr from the rating plate, with its suffix, and any displayed error code.

Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance in W8 postcode area
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's or business appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.
Tumble dryer repair questions
Should I compare several programmes before requesting help?
You do not need to run additional tests. Describe differences you have already observed during normal use, and include the exact model. Stop using an appliance that has signs of overheating or electrical damage.
Can you attend a dryer above a washing machine?
Tell the office about the stacking arrangement when you enquire. Access needs to be considered before a visit is agreed; do not attempt to lift the dryer down yourself.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
