Tumble dryer over a carpet- Anyone else done this?

[mumznet]

Brought a new condenser tumble dryer. the only thing is i have a carpet so I placed a piece of lino over the carpet and then put the tumble dryer over it. Just worried if this is ok? I'm loving the dry and warm clothes no more wet laundry!!
thanks

What is your concern about the floor? As long as the td is level I'm sure it will be fine.

In our old flat we had to have the dryer in our bedroom as no room in the kitchen. I didn't even consider the carpet would be a problem and it was there for about 18 months before we moved and could put it in our kitchen. Never caused an issue and the carpet was fine too

Thanks guys. My concern was whether it would interrupt the tumble dryer working properly and if it is a fire risk. But it seems it should be fine. The carpet is old so not concerned about the carpet.
