Well, I thought it was too good to be true! Got my Whirlpool on 27/3/07 after seeing a Whirlpool Dishwasher that a friend had been given. It was in great nick, about 16 years old; it looked and felt very solidly built. So, when my existing tumble dryer gave up the ghost I thought I'd try a Whirlpool. I'm a Tumble Dryer Expert - name the brand, I've had them all! They all lasted no more than 2 years so I was getting a bit fed up. 2 weeks ago my Whirlpool timer control started to seize up. It was getting almost impossible to turn, but it still worked. Continued to dry the clothes a treat. It's the first condenser dryer I've had and it seems as good as I expected. The fluff trap is easy to change, the condenser unit itself is as well. But this flippin' timer switch has got me doubting the thing. The door also has a habit of springing open even when you think it's shut - you go off to do something else, come back expecting a load of washing is ready to iron or put in the airing cupboard and the door's gaping open... Now, the Whirlpool engineer is coming to look at it on Monday, between 1 and 6pm they say. Just watch this space!
