You may have seen my recent thread #95249, on replacing the drive belt on my Creda 37405 reversair tumble dryer. Shortly after that, I noticed the dryer wasn't always switching off, but then was ok again. A couple of days ago, the timer stopped completely, and the dryer was staying on unless I...

Hi dluc, Have you managed to get the belt replaced?. Did you see the service manual above? It mught help you too.

Thanks ozzie908. I've just had a look at other pictures of that, and now I can see it. Pretty clever in its simplicity. Next time I pull it out, I'll take the back off and inspect it for wear. Thank you.

Hi Paul, Thanks for all that information. The Creda reversair I have, is quite simple then, in that the timer is just a mechanical clock I think, with a spring. You wind it up, and it counts down. What I don't understand, is what causes the drum to reverse its direction of rotation. That...

BTW.. Thanks for the help chaps. I couldn't have done it without, and it may have to have been scrapped, which would have been terrible. So thanks again.

Ah thanks, I'll try dropbox then. Here are 3 dropbox links , -- if they work. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/033ldhuxpsiu9p0l7oyix/20240215_112253.mp4?rlkey=u9gmed82dtye7cl4ktbkq3vz2&dl=0...

Finished. Now I understand the front 'bearing'. The front of the drum, runs on and is supported by, felt pads. How do I upload a video?

New belt fitted. Quite an easy job which was a pleasant surprise. Started at 10am. Finished at 11:45am.(Same day😄). Took top off. Took base front trim off. Took timer knob off. Took timer knob trim off. Took timer switch and plate out. Took heat selector switch out. Removed rear air duct...

Belt arrived. Certainly looks the same so should do the job. Hopefully tomorrow.

That's a great pamphlet Paul. I thik I remember it from when we chose/bought our 1000 and 37405 tumble dryer. How does the sensamatic dryer work? Does it sense moisture and switch off when the the stuff is dry, rather than by the rotary timer switch?

Hi Mathew and Steve. Thank you both very much for that information. It seems I managed to guess along the right lines then lol. Luckily my dryer is rear venting, so it looks like it will be less complicated to get the front off. But those exploded pictures, and list of instructions from the...

The tumble dryer, used to sit on (stacked) the Creda 1000 in our kitchen in Streatham. After she died, I moved and took both with me, and stacked them in St Leonards east-sussex. Then I brought them to Kent, and only when the washing machine was beyond my abilities to get the parts and repair...

Brilliant. My mother who it was bought new for, would be amazed and chuffed to see her old Creda 1000 looking so good, and so well cared for. 😊😊

Belt bought. Hopefully have it running again by next weekend. A question. What is the easiest way to fit the belt? As it was snapped, it just fell out of the bottom with the inspection cover removed. It looks like I need to remove the front of the dryer, to feed the belt over the drum. Is that...

Hi Paul, Thank you very much. You're dead right. Model 37405. I took a picture and blew it up a bit. And thanks too for locating the belt for me, and at such a very good price.
