When switching on my HOTPOINT AQUARIUS CTD40 REVERSEAIR TUMBLE DRYER last night it kept blowing the main fuse in the fuse box. This morning it is making a horrific grinding noise when the drum rotates although it is not blowing a fuse now.
Sounds like bearings in your ctd40
We have made a few videos on these dryers and there are some very good repair guides on these.

I suspect that the rear drun bearing is worn allowing the drum to drop, or the front bearings have gone.
Remove belt and try again if noise still persists then the problem is the motor or fans on the motor. They can wear or come loose.

i have exactly the same problem with the same model!
The dryer makes aloud grinding noise every few rotations and sometimes doesn't? Very loud, doesn't have a set amount of rotations before it does it.
