Indesit condensing dryer IDCA735BH(uk) around 6-8 years old dryer not heating now stopped all 5 top LEDs flashing 4th Led down solid light. Any ideas gratefully recieved?
ok first paort of call is the overheat stat
element is in the bump at the rear
looks like
https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/genuine-tumble-dryer-heatercarefully remove the element and there are 3 stats on the top
you should find one stat with a small hole in the middle and if you feel the bottom of the stat the metal disk is dished in. We need it to dish out so insert a stiff bit of wire in the hole and push gently and it should go click. if it does put is back together but dont push on the stat or it will go in again
Be aware there elements are very flimsy so have to be handled with care. If the element holders are broken you may need to replace the whole unitDave
did the stat go click or not ?
also some dryer wont heat unless wet clothes are inside
try it on a timed programme its more likely to heat without clothes in
Dave
ok well if fault was not element you could just replace it but you run the risk of it not being the fault and still not heating
to be certain you would have to test the element with a multimeter to confirm if its open circuit or not
Dave
Hi Dave sorry had to go out. Yes the stat did click. The drier has damp clothes in it every thing working as normal just no heat
