Defy Tumble Dryer Not Switching On? Here’s How To Fix It!

  Tumble dryers are designed to heat air inside a drum, which then blows through the clothes in the machine. The problem is that sometimes the heating element doesn’t switch on properly. This means the machine won’t heat the air, so the clothes will never dry.

Check the fuse box.

If the fuse box isn’t blown, check the thermostat. If it’s set too low, the heating element won’t turn on. If it’s set high, the heating element might not work at all.

Is it plugged into an electrical socket?

Check the plug itself first. If there’s no power coming through, then check the fuse box. You should also check the wiring inside the wall.

Does the power light come on when you switch it on?

If the power light comes on when you switch the machine on, then it means that the fuse box is fine. However, if the power light does not come on, then you need to contact an electrician as soon as possible. Call our Defy Technician today!

Have you tried turning off and then back on again?

You should turn off the machine before unplugging it. This will prevent any damage to the machine. Then, once the machine is unplugged, check the fuse box. If there is no problem with the fuse box, then try switching off and then back on the machine again. If this still doesn’t work, then call an electrician.

Has the problem been happening for some time?

If the problem started recently, then it might be worth checking out our guide on how to fix a broken washing machine.

What Causes a Defy Tumble Dryer Not to Heat Up?

Are you experiencing an issue with your Defy tumble dryer not heating up? Not to worry - this is a common issue that can be solved relatively easily. Here, we’ll provide a comprehensive guide to help you identify the problem and fix it quickly and confidently.

To begin, you’ll want to unplug the dryer and check the thermostat. This should be done to ensure that it is functioning properly. If it’s damaged or has become detached from its wiring, replacing the part should do the trick. After you replace the thermostat, plug in your dryer to see if it’s producing heat again. If not, there may be other underlying causes.

One common issue that can cause a tumble dryer not to heat up is blocked airways. Blocked airways can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the machine, resulting in it not heating up as quickly as it should. To inspect the pathways, first check for lint blockages and debris buildup inside the lint filter, lint trap vent, and exhaust duct. Cleaning these components can help improve airflow and help your machine run properly.

If a thorough cleaning does not restore the dryer’s heating capabilities, further inspection may be required. With the appropriate electrical tools and knowledge, you can inspect the connection and wiring of the tumble dryer power cord as well as all internal components. Pay particular attention to fuses and thermostats, checking that they are linked properly and in good condition. Replacing or resetting these parts can restore heated airflow to your machine.

If your tumble dryer isn’t heating up properly, a blocked thermal cut-out fuse may be the culprit. A thermal cut-out is an electrical safety device designed to protect the tumble dryer from damage due to extreme temperature changes. If it becomes blocked, obstructed, or damaged, its ability to protect could be reduced and your machine won’t work as it should. To replace this component, switch off the power to the appliance, access the fuse by taking off the back cover of your Defy tumble dryer and remove the old fuse. Replace with a new one of compatible size and type before reassembling and trying out the machine again.

Another common cause of no heat in a Defy tumble dryer is an unclean condenser filter. The filter needs to be cleaned regularly, at least once per month, as dirt and lint build-up can limit the air circulation in the appliance. To clean it, first disconnect the power to the machine and remove the grille filters. Then, use a vacuum cleaner with a flexible brush head attachment to thoroughly clean any dirt or debris trapped in the condenser filter. Check that the area around the filter is clear of any obstructions before reassembling your appliance and switching on again.
