Ok so the drum of my condenser dryer wont turn ... and I'm miffed. Its Zanussi so does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that might repair it? I might be able to do it myself .... if I knew what I was doing. Its heating up etc but just not turning.

Normally the bolts that the drum is attached to snap and that is why it won't turn anymore. When it happened to my mothers I know it was cheaper to buy a new one rather than repair it.

So replacing the bolts might be a pain and getting someone to do it for me would be expensive (relatively).

Well when the bolts break they damage the bolt holes in the drum so that its not a case of getting new bolts, its a case of getting a new drum and possibly a new mounting bracket that it attaches to.
