Re: indesit slimline dishwasher
Hi,
mine was slightly different as the temp sensor read completely open. got a new PCB for about 24 quid and all is good. Until something else gives in… also, try sticking a bit of heat sink compound on th esensoir, mine came off a couple of times and trhat could be giving a duff reading.

worth bearing in mind for next time it dies, but i’m fairly sure now that its the temp sensor, the heater does come on because if i open the door it is hot, although not as hot as when completed a full drying cycle. Also, the temp sensor reads completely open. waiting for pay day then i’ll get a new board i think, thanks for the info.
you were right about the sharp edges, especially behind the front cover…
heater is ok, 30.4 ohms and everything underneath is tight and no signs of any leaks.
Temperature sensor was a bit loose so put a bit more heat sink compound on and secured it, but still the same problem. pcb looks ok, no burnt tracks or loose joints.
the temperasture sensor reads open, guess this just goes closed when temperature reached, its not anyhing clever? is it possible to buy just the temperature sensor or is it worth replacing the whole pcb whilst i still have 10 fingers?Matt
oh joy!
yes, the heater is in the bottom of the tub. i guess you need to disconnect it to test resistance, or it will just bell through something else? is this still accesible underneath, and is it ok to tip it on its back with the salt still in it? what roughly should the heater element read?

the lump in question is an indesit IDL40 UK, type LS08 EVO3C, serial number 606068119. i am electrically competent so pointers in the right direction is much appreciated! thanks.
