Just got this "dead" Whirlpool AWZ481E hardly used european 240v dryer off ebay for £100, HAHA fello ebayers - it was a simple fix, opened up the panels, rear and top, and in the wiring bundle which goes from front to back at the top ,( which incidentally NOTE should be fixed with stick down "zip" bases to the side panel or at least gaffer tape, as it could get harmed by the drum), anyway, found an in-line black fuse holder with a gone fuse value 6.3 amps uprated it to 10 amps slo blo, dunno what it does, but when I replaced it the machine sprang to life. It's a really well built machine, the wiring harness is a bit micky mouse in that it's not fixed with restraints. I think the fuse went because it's the wrong rating or a poor quality fuse. I can't see any reason for it to go, it's now running on soak test 4 hours gone. Don't forget this is a massive 4.5kW unit and a pro electrican must plumb it in or your mains plug and socket will burn up. I've had other whirlpool stuff and this matches their fabulous 10kg washer unit. Robust, used by the military, I'm in the military YO cant beat up a whirlpool. Don't try this 10c fix unless you have a degree in astrophysics and can fly a plane.... you can email me through www.youtube.com/ebaystars where I moan about crappy pro audio equipment...

Bought this Whirlpool AWZ481E dryer to work alongside whirlpool's 10kg washing machine. Stopped working after 2 months. Nowhere near good enough for the money. Had to fit dedicated electric supply and tweak utility room worksurfaces/units to suit its larger than average stance. Looks like whirpool are withdrawing it now as there are none around. I am trying to find another dryer now that is as physically large as this and to match my washer as they go side by side.

The Whirlpool AWZ481E is a great tumble dryer, the only problem i had to find space to vent it through the roof as i had no immediate wall, the dryer has a 10kg load, 1kg extra than my whirlpool awm9100 washing machine, so with that extra space dries clothes faster, has various settings, dries clothes automatically on various auto dry sensor settings. Has 4 different heat settings including, full heat, medium, low heat, cool air, then has ready to wear, cupboard dry plus, cupboard dry, cotton, s ...
