Creda Reversair tumble dryer belt needed.

Picture3 of your last set shows the back of the dryer and if you look above the heater there is a metal lever with a threaded screw and on there is I believe a small bakelite block which is also threaded that travels up and down the screw pressing the metal lever as it reaches the end. When it presses the lever it switches the motor direction

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.

Creda Reversair

Great work Peter , good to see another vintage classic Creda saved from the scrap, also good to see the airflow venting box and how the airflow is directed up top and over back to vent out the hot air.

As hot air always rises it always seemed more logical to offer this concept, Creda certainly were ahead of the game with their products,

Thanks for sharing , Mike

Interesting to read. I have a Creda/Electra 37276 3kg tumble dryer, very similar in appearance to the Creda Compact 3 in the pamphlet above, with a flap-opening action. Owned since 1980, it has suddenly stopped rotating and I suspect the belt has gone (but the bearings sounded OK before this happened). I can't figure out how to take off the casing (I have removed the obvious self-tappers). It looks one-piece, in contrast to more recent ones, which seem to have panels. Could anyone advise? Ideally, if someone has the service manual?
