Re: Indesit IWDE12 not drying/Lights flashing

😀 😀 😀 THANKS EVERYONE 😀 😀 😀
Last night i removed the fan/heating element housing to get to the fluff filter, removed the filter housing and found the mesh completely bock with solidified fluff. I have removed the mesh and cleared out all the crap from inside the filter housing. I seperated the fan heating element housing to check the fan and found it all ok(removed all the crap from the metal fins while i was in there). Refitted everything and tested the machine.
I am extremely happy to report that the dryer is now working perfectly.

Thanks again to everyone who replied to my original question. you have allowed me to repair the machine without the fear of being ripped off by rogue machine engineers.

Derek.

Hi there
I have checked the connections at the main board and they seem ok. I have watched the machine go through the drying cycle until it goes wrong and everything seems to work fine until about a minute before it stops the fan stops spinning. could this be causing the machine to overheat and cut out?

is the fluff filter you’re referring to the filter in front of the pump at the bottom right corner of the machine because i can’t find anything else on the machine that even remotely looks like any sort of filter.

thanks all

Thanks iadom
I checked the connections on the temp sensor. there was no obvious loose connection or broken wire. I removed the wires from the block connector(1 by 1) and refitted them to ensure a good connection. I then put the dryer on to see if it made any difference but alas it ran ok for about 15 minutes then stopped again(with all the same lights flashing). Could this mean that the temp sensor itself has a fault and is it something i could test with a multimeter.
Thanks again
Derek.
