"Youll need an appliance/white goods engineer. Usually the manufacturer or their appointed agent if under warranty, some will still do it if not under warranty and charge for it or have a search for local independent appliance/white goods engineers."

"Usually an electrician won’t fix a tumble dryer. I’d also say unless it’s a specific connection, plug socket or loose wire."
