Reversing on modern White Knight dryers et al?

Beko

It's not the first time I've heard of that happening with a Beko dryers. Not sure what method of reversing they use, but they don't seem very successful.

Quite a few don't seem to last very long either. In fact compared to their washers and dishwashers, their dryers seem pretty poor.

Beko Heatpump dryer .........

have so far not found any program that reverses for more than a few seconds and I am confused as to why this is?   As it has got a separate fan for cooling etc I think it must be that even the Turkish designers have used generic parts for the electronics etc as it does the same as other dryers.    I would like to find a way to dry bedding without it balling up any tips anyone?   Austin   One thing that I have found is although it says do not dry duvets etc it does in fact dry these extremely well !!

Reverse To Short

I had a white knight years ago, it was about 5 mins forward and 5 secs back, well in time I got a slightly larger bendix dryer with no reverse, that pissed me off so I took out the white knight timer, took it apart and modified the the reverse cam so it reversed for 30 secs and also modded the heater cam so it went off for 30 secs. better arrangement for drying in a small dryer.

The Hoover I have now is 37 secs in each direction no probs with balling up anything

Reversing

Neither of my driers reverse, and I have had no problems, but then I don't overload them. Large items (duvet covers, etc.) are dried singly, so they 'float' in the airstream. More 'labour-intensive', I know, but each one dries in the time it takes to iron the last... ;-)

All best

I had a white knight digital sensor dryer, granted, it was faulty and white knight's customer service was appalling, but it didn't tangle bedding, then it broke when drying a load of towels.
