Tumble dryer has just completely broken.
Where is the cheapest place to get a similar quality one for under £250 .We can manage for a few days if we have to order one online but no longer.
We currently have had a Zanussi condenser dryer TC 481W.

why now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't you get it repaired rather then buy a new one?

was told by repair engineer that the cheap brand White Knight are really good and actually the same machine as other expensive brands
you can get White Knight in argos I think

Same issue here, though ours hasnt died yet but the washing comes out burning hot which i think is a bad sign and i'm scared to use it. i'm not sure dryers are worth getting repaired?

Our thermostat broke. Dh got the part and installed. He is not an engineer. Cost £39

How did he know it was the thermostat? bit worried about setting the house on fire with malfunctioning dryer.

Google I think. Rang local repairs shop. Said " I think it's this"

my dryer's just died and I've ordered a new one on a buy now pay 2012 deal from Littlewoods. Interest free until expiry of pay later period. Not something I'd usually do but its a bad time to pay out for expensive appliances just before xmas. I'll pay it off in April
