Re: Indesit WD12 not drying

Did a continuity check on the old element and it must have been broken inside the earth sheathing somewhere. Fitted the new heater element last night and works a treat.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Indesit WD12 not drying

Thanks for link – that’s the best price I’ve seen. I’m just going to check with the multimeter tonight to make sure its not a thermal fuse that other posters have mentioned.

Re: Indesit WD12 not drying

Thanks for the info. I’m living in Germany at the moment, so it’s no use me contacting a UK engineer.

If it’s likely to be the element, then I could order and fit myself. I think I’d rather have a go than get somebody out over here.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Indesit WD12 not drying

OK, I got home and ran the dryer for a bit, and sounded like the impeller was going ok. Powered off and had a look inside, and the coil wasn’t at all warm, but wasn’t discouloured or anything.

At that point I reached my limit – is there a trip for the coil somewhere I could reset?

Thanks for any help,
Phill.

Re: Indesit WD12 not drying

I have an Indesit WD12 too. I got home at the weekend and the house RCD had tripped. Later I noticed that the dryer does not warm up any more. The drum spins fine – just no heat.

I can’t hear a blower fan running. Is it easy to get to / replace?

Regards,
Phillk.
