just a word of advice if you own a tumble drier. turn if off at the mains and pull the plug out. take the lid off it (top panel) and check how much dust/fluff is in there. while you have the lid off the two side panels will now be able to be removed, they should come off without taking the chassis apart. clean out the fluff/dust with the vacuum cleaner. we have ours about 6 years and following a fire safety course i decided to investigate i'd say we took half a bucket of tinder dry fluff/dust from inside the machine :o if your not confident about taking these things apart get someone who is to check it out. how often to you go out or to bed with these things working away..? "ah sure she'll knoch herself off when shes finished.." theres a heating element in tumble driers just like a bar heater if this type of materail hits it you have a serious fire hazard. its better to be safe than sorry.
