Tumble dryer · Focused observation
There is a new sound
Use ordinary words such as scrape, thud, buzz or rattle and say when it starts. Stop use where sound comes with burning, smoke, leaking electrics or unsafe movement.
Model and requested work checked before an appointment is agreed.

How this relates to your tumble dryer
Give the dryer technology and chosen programme, then describe the finished laundry or early stop. A timer result and a sensor result can differ.
Keep evidence and assumptions apart
Describe what you saw during ordinary use, then retain the complete model. An observation can help frame an assessment but does not establish which part is faulty.
When to stop demonstrating
Do not repeat a cycle to recreate smoke, tripping, burning, unsafe movement or leakage near electrical parts. Keep connected equipment in place and do not remove covers.
