Our tumble dryer (9 months old) lives in the shed and has been working fine. Last week put a load on to dry and came inside. Few minutes laster ds2 appeared from the basement saying the power had gone - checked fuse box and shed & basement(on the same ring) had tripped. Switched back on and everything fine. Went to shed later and tumble dryer was off and washing wet. Tried to switch back on but instantly tripped the fuse box.
We tried plugging it in to the kitchen socket, but tripped the fuse box. Changed fuse, but still nothing. Called Hoover and they're due here tomorrow. However dh tried to plug in lawn mower in shed socket yesterday and there is no power in the shed. If you plug anything in the shed socket it trips the fuse box.
Do you think some dodgy electrics have messed up the tumble dryer or the tumble dryer has messed up the electrics? I'm tempted to postpone the repairman as if he decides it was an electric problem that blew the tumble dryer we'll get charged for call out and the repair rather than it being covered on the warranty.
What do you think?
