The BBC report says "Do not leave appliances unattended – do not turn the tumble dryer on before you leave the house or go to bed." however when one has a night tariff one will want to set the drier to run over night.
"No trend had been identified as yet with make or models." However is it so hard to say resistive or heat pump types? My tumble drier uses about 600 watt, this is not a huge amount, but it does run for around 2.5 hours per load, so very likely some thing will happen during that time which means we go out.
Clearly we would not set washing machine, dishwasher, or tumble drier to run when we know we are going out, but big question, is why fit a delayed start option to a device which should not be left unattended?
