Tumble dryer cutting out mid cycle — questions
Why does it only cut out after ten minutes?
That timing strongly suggests a heat build-up cut-out rather than an electrical fault.
Do you clean the ducting?
We clear the machine's internal path and tell you if the wall ducting itself needs a separate clean.
Is this a fire risk?
Blocked airflow and trapped fluff are a genuine fire risk — get it looked at rather than resetting it repeatedly.
