WD - dryer not working - fuse blows after 5-10 min

[ceciliemaria]

My Candy WD is not working right. The dryer blows cold air.
I can reset automatic fuses, but they pop after 5-10 min.

The washer works fine.

Repairmen in Norway are horrific expencive!
Is there any other part, other than manuals filter, that might need cleaning?
Would love to hear from you smart guys in UK.

You need to look inside the fan, heater and condenser to check for any build up of fluff. If anything is preventing proper air flow the heater will tend to overheat. I'm not sure what you mean by "automatic fuses", are these in the machine itself?

Hi Fido!
The fuse pop up inside the machine (under the top - which I remove each time) - and a repairman showed me to just press it down to make the dryer work again. The repairman only did that and then charged me for quite a bit of money - which makes me hesitant calling him again.

I will look into the fluff tomorrow... - Do I open the back of the washer? Thank you for replying so far. CecilieMaria

The fan and heater housings are accessed from the top but the condenser is at the back. They are usually semi transparent so you can see if they are choked.
