    Put your washing on the line then until they fix it

    Don't be stupid, that would be too simple, surely. :D

    You might be in for a long wait as it's highly unlikely that the shop will have the drier in stock and the chances are that it get delivered directly from the manufacturer.

    A repair may well end up being quicker than a replacment.

    Be prepared that you might be there for a fairly long time, until they throw you out of the shop.

    You are acting unreasonable, They have complied with the SOGA, You aren't inconvenienced, how ever did people cope before the advent of Tumble Dryers.

    Buying a BEKO was not a good idea if you expect parts and service to be quick. Budget brand = budget service and backup.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
