Most common issues on this model
- Drum turns but air stays cool
- Heat that cuts out partway through a cycle
- Thermostat tripping repeatedly
- Scorched smell near the heater
The ASKO T701 has been discontinued, though plenty of homes still use one. We repair it. We confirm exactly which machine it is from the serial number plate rather than assuming.
When the T701 runs but the clothes stay cool and damp, we concentrate on the heating system. We test whether the heater is receiving power and whether the thermostat or safety cutout has opened, and we look for lint around the heater that may have caused it. A cutout that keeps tripping often means airflow is restricted, so we clear that too before replacing parts.
We explain what we find and write the price down. If a repair is not worth it, we say so. To arrange a visit, call or use the online form. You will get a three-hour arrival window.
Key features
- Retired T701 tumble dryer

Error codes this model can show
The drum turns but the clothes are cold. What is wrong?
The heating system is not working, or a thermostat or cutout has opened. We test the heater and thermostat and check the airflow. If the machine needs a new heater, we explain the cost first.
Why does the heat shut off by itself?
A safety thermostat can open when airflow is poor. Clearing lint and the exhaust path often fixes the cause, and we test the thermostat itself.
Should I keep using a dryer that smells scorched?
No. Stop using it and call us. Lint near the heat source can be a hazard. We inspect the cabinet for lint before it is run again, and we explain what we find.
