@@GabyMendesnp No worries Gaby!

Hey buddy that's great (that you repaired it), but it's always the way. You find a how to after it's done lol. But the whole process just gives you even more confidence to repair the next thing I reckon 👍 Apologies for the delayed reply. My house was burnt very badly a round the time I posted this video and now it's unlivable 😔

@@DIYDumpRat Sorry to hear that, how did it happen?

@@liftrailphotographyinnz3992 thanks mate, my electric blanket caught on fire a few minutes after I turned it on. I just made a post about it with some photos 👍

No worries happy to help.

Ahh thanks man appreciate it!

Thanks Mandy 👍😎

Hi there, no problem at all and thanks for subscribing! And sorry for the delayed reply, my house was burnt very badly straight after I uploaded this video due to an electric blanket catching on fire and my life's been hectic since. To be honest I'm not really sure what you're asking because it sounds as though you think the ED56 models don't reverse and air vent? But they do. I'm probably reading you wrong lol. But just to let you know I don't personally think there's any difference between these older models and the newer ones. I'll be doing a video in the future where I give my opinion of the best dryers made. Out of all the ones I fix. The Simpson manuals, Electrolux fully automatics and the ED56's. Spoiler alert I think I'm going to choose the ED56 model. They rarely ever break down like the others and they're fairly east to repair. As for efficiency? Haha I never get drawn into that argument. All clothes dryers are basically just heaters mate, and there's nothing efficient about those. But they do have good sensors that (pretty consistently) tend to stop the dryer once the clothes are dry. Hope this helps!

@@DIYDumpRat thanks for your reply, I'm very sorry about the fire, that's terrible news mate.. I wish you the best with the rebuild and a speedy house and personal recovery! Stay strong my friend! As for the Ed 56 yes it seemed pretty well made and so far running great, it's gotta be 20 years old.. oh they do reverse, that's great, I've never watched it, I just assumed it didn't... on inspection the rear bearing was seized but the clamp plates were fine, so I was able to get a replacement for $6.. I'm still waiting on a door window as one of the little pins on it that keeps it centred is broken away, and it was leaking lint out between the door and the glass. I'm tempted to seal the new one with appliance silicone between the door and the window glass, I might do that with the new one yet, should that be ok?. On the efficiency, I was thinking the same. The reason I chose to fix this old dryer is the reviews on the new machines isn't very good, I read about Electrolux machines breaking down, lots stopping or taking too long to dry clothes.. so I think it's the right decision.. I did pull it right down even pulled the motor out to clean all the lint out of the windings and cooling fins as the aftermarket vent hose was leaking pushing lint into the workings of machine. Anyway it's now running great.. Thanks again for your videos it's been a great help.. Best Regards Stormer

Oh wow thanks for the heads up Suzanne! Yeah hopefully the Simpson one will last a little longer. It definitely feels a little more elasticated 👍

Oh and apologies for the delayed reply to your first message! Still going through the difficult stages of a house fire thanks to a faulty electric blanket unfortunately.

So sorry to hear about the house fire, hope you're doing well 💞
