Tumble Dryer Repair & Installation in the UAE
A dryer that takes three cycles to dry one load, or one that's stopped heating altogether — FETSCO repairs condenser, vented and heat-pump tumble dryers from every major brand.
Common Tumble Dryer problems we fix
Common issue
Dryer not heating
Likely cause: A blown heating element, a tripped thermal cut-out (often from a blocked filter), or a faulty thermostat.
How we fix it — We check the lint filter and venting first (a very common root cause), then test and replace the heating element or thermostat as needed.
Common issue
Dryer taking much longer than usual
Likely cause: A clogged lint filter or blocked external vent restricting airflow — the single most common dryer complaint.
How we fix it — We clear the filter and full vent run, which resolves the large majority of these cases on its own.
Common issue
Loud noise or drum not turning
Likely cause: A worn drum belt or drum bearing/roller.
How we fix it — We replace the belt or bearing/roller assembly as needed.
Common issue
Dryer stops mid-cycle
Likely cause: An overheating safety cut-out triggered by blocked venting, or a door switch fault.
How we fix it — We clear any blockage and test the door switch and thermal cut-out.
How we install your tumble dryer
Venting plan (for vented dryers)
We confirm the shortest, straightest possible vent run to outside — long or bent venting is the leading cause of poor drying performance.
Levelling
The dryer is levelled to reduce vibration and drum wear over time.
Electrical connection & safety check
Connection tested against the unit's rated load; for gas dryers, the gas connection is leak-tested.
Test cycle
A full drying cycle is run to confirm heating, airflow and drum rotation all work correctly.
Genuine parts, every major brand
Tumble Dryer repair — questions we get
In the vast majority of cases this is a blocked lint filter or vent, not a broken part — clean the filter after every load and have the external vent checked annually.
Not for our technicians — we service all three types; heat-pump units do need the condenser coils cleaned more regularly to stay efficient.
Yes, with the correct stacking kit for your specific models.
A persistent burning smell warrants switching it off and booking an inspection — usually lint build-up, but worth checking promptly.
