Hi there
My name is Daz I’m 35 years old and am in need of some assistance if possible please 🙂
I have an idesit idc85 which no longer gets warm (partner opened door mid dry)
I tried changing the 2 thermostats with no luck
So then brought whole new heater element with thermostats with safety cut outs
Swapped parts out but still doesn’t get hot 🙁
I have hoovered all filters out
Still nothing
I have read apart safety thermostat cut out switch to poke a pin into but I cannot locate this on this model have took back cover off but no red button or pin hole 🙁
Could anyone please help me what else to try 🙁
Many thanks
Daz
Re: Indesit idc85 tumble dryer help
the safety switch is part of the heater and if you have changed that it will be ok
one long shot make sure you turn the timer on to about 30 mins or more as the last 10 mins does not heat
if that fails then it maybe
Timer
front thermostat
and from memory i think the tank full switch affects the heat on some dryersDave

Re: Indesit idc85 tumble dryer help
all you need is a multi meter that buzzes when you touch the leads together. touch both stat terminal with the wires off. if it buzzes its ok
my money is on the timer. there is a heater contact in the timer that can fail but everything else will work
but
its going to get expensive if you keep swapping parts to find the faultDave
