I could stand to have a look at my washer/drier. The washer works perfectly well, but the drier does nothing at all. It runs, but doesn't dry. It came with the house and they're usually expensive to run, so I've never really worried about it. But I live in England, where rain is our default mode, so it's a pain to have washing up on racks in the house all the time.

    Does it get hot at all? The heating element is just a coil of metal that can break. They can break easily if you put clothes in it that are too wet (like dripping). Once it breaks, it severs the current, so no heat. There should also be a fuse right next to it. These are all simple continuity checks if you have a meter.
