Understanding Defy tumble dryer faults
A quick look at what's usually behind the two most common call-outs, so you know what to expect.
Defy Tumble Dryer Not Heating
A Defy dryer running but not heating usually points to a blown thermal fuse, a faulty heating element, a failed thermostat, or a blocked vent restricting airflow that trips a safety cut-out. On heat-pump models, this can also point to a fault in the heat-pump refrigerant circuit. We check airflow and the heating circuit systematically to find the real cause.
Defy Tumble Dryer Drum Not Turning
This is commonly caused by a snapped or slipped drum belt, worn drum rollers or a bearing, or a failing motor. A snapped belt is often the quickest fix, but if the rollers or motor bearing have worn down, we'll recommend replacing those too so the fault doesn't return.
