I have a 4 year old CTD40 which has only JUST recently been giving trouble. Its actually NOT a particularly bad machine if looked after, however if abused it will give trouble like anything else. Fluff filter should be cleaned after EVERY load, water emptied, condenser cleaned EVERY week and machine not overloaded particularly with large or too wet items. If airflow is restricted by fluff or overloading, this will cause the thermistors to fail and plastic fan to melt, go out of shape and make horrible noises. Plastic door catch can break after repeated slamming -close the door gently! Also opening the door when the machine is running to "see if the load is dry" is a BIG no-no, as this will stop the fan whilst the element is red hot, = failed thermistors again. Let the machine cool, or turn to cool fan only for a few mins before opening.
Look after the machine and it will look after you! Condenser dryers work much more efficiently if the room is cool and well ventilated, a freestanding installation always gives less trouble than under counter.
