Pat Test Question About Tumble Driers

[Deleted member 72666]

Hi Flanders, the engineer who did the plug from knowhow left the cardboard on lol, I shall try and get an amp meter as I would imagine its towards the end of the cycle it draws the most current tbh.
Someone also said cheap socket and plug... twice ?

What's your reasoning behind that statement?
From past experience anything around 2kW and above requires a decent plug (MK Tough plugs fit the bill) and socket, none of the cheap stuff that's available, failing that a decent fcu.

Reasoning is as the machine uses the heaters as opposed to the spin only. Spoke directly to the company director at know how and we are getting a new dryer, similar faults have been found on others it seems.

'Spin only' on a tumbler drier? What purpose does that serve or is this a washer drier?

No, but it has various stages of cycles, including anti crease etc. What I meant was at the very start it might not be pulling as much as later on that was all.
