Hello all,
Our Indesit has stopped working – there is power getting to it, as indicator LEDs are behaving as normal, but on starting a cycle, although the lights behave as if everything is normal, there is no sign of heat or the drum spinning. There is a quiet click which seems to emanate from the right-hand side of the machine when I try to turn it on. Was going to try thermostats etc, but I believe that the drum would still spin if it was simply a thermostat issue – is this the case? Any ideas what to check out? Filter and condensor cleaned v regularly and water emptied.
Indesit want £95 for labour (parts free) to sort it out…(!)
Thanks in advance,

Might be best to let them fix it, if you can hear the click low down on the right hand side then that is where the main power pcb is located. 🙁 Most other faults should throw up an error code.

Doesn’t sound good…thanks for that info though. That’s also where the fan is-if that’s failed,would that trip the thermostat as the element would overheat the same air? Think I heard that same motor runs fan and drum,but not too sure…Thanks again

There is just one motor with a fan at either end. If the stats had failed you should get an error message . If you have access to a decent multimeter or megger you could check the TOC behind the back cover, some models route the main neutral supply through that stat.
