The drum on my tumble dryer has cracked (for some strange reason). I complained to the manufacturer and they have offered to send me a drum at a discounted rate (£51.99 delivered).
This would be feasible if I can replace it myself - If I have to pay an engineer then i may as well buy a new dryer.

I argued with them and they said they'll send me a free drum. That's something at least. It's not a condenser

take lid off.take all the screws out the back kidney shaped panel.take all the screws out the whole back panel.remove the heater.remove the drum circlip and washer.disconnect wiring.if its a condensor one all the fan has to come off.They ain't giving you much of a deal on part but its up to you.Like you say not worth getting someone in as it would be as cheap to buy a new one!
If its a condensor one and the fan needs to come off you sometimes have to breeak them off and its a pig of a job!
