3. Noise

The humming sound that is often heard when a tumble dryer is running is a normal noise and does not mean that something is wrong.

The sound could be the result of worn-out or loose components inside the dryer. The bearings made of plastic, on which the drum sits and turns are prone to wear out over time.

The tumble dryers that use heat pumps recycle the hot air created by the dryer. This is because they're able to extract the moisture from your clothes without any external vents, so the warm air is returned to the compressor and is heated up before being used again.

A heat pump tumble dryer with a sensor dry feature is even more energy-efficient as it can sense when your clothes are fully dried and shut off the cycle automatically. Some brands also include steam functions that inject water into the drum at various times during the drying process.
