Thanks for this video. Just replaced my heating element as I was getting all the flashing lights and no heat and this worked a treat. Thank you!

I’m glad to hear that!

Many thanks, you've just confirmed what I thought was wrong with my machine. Now just got to get the bits and get it working again.

One more idea, if this wouldn’t work, change the drum’s sensor.

I have only one idea let’s check the pump. If it doesn’t pump the water could stop the program.

Hi. Sorry to bother you but do you have a link of where I can buy the heating element? I have the exact same dryer

Hi Hassan, Did you try to replace the Thermistor? Many times the heating element is good, but with a thermistor change the problem is solvable. Here is a link to that: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INDESIT-Tumble-Dryer-Front-Thermistor-GENUINE-/163880024192?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Even, if you want to buy a heating element, you can find on ebay. The thermistor is much cheaper , better to start with it. I hope this will help.

@@georgesworkshop8600 Thank you for the reply sir, I haven't actually checked the thermistor. Is there any way of checking that without replacing it first to see if that's the problem? But I have exactly the same problem as you do on the video. The dryer comes on but doesn't heat up and the cycle continues for around 4/5 minutes. Then just stops and all the lights start flashing. When I open it up to check it I can feel that it hasn't heated.

If you have multimeter please measure the resistor and test it the thermistor. Firstly, as it’s cold and then heat up with a hairdryer and check. if the resistor doesn’t change it’s faulty your thermistor.

Replaced the front thermistor is mine and worked for 1 load. Then lights started again. Do you think I should change the heating element. Is there a way I can test?

Hi, May you can see on the heating element the sign of burning. I don’t have tester to check, so I don’t know what to say how to check your heating element. If it worths as much to you to spend on a new heating element I would try.

Hi, I surprised, as I buy on ebay capacitors for £5/6, so it’s quite cheap. The termoster cost between £10 and 20, depend on which make.

Hi Michael, I get used to buy from ebay, simple search for the machine model number and the part description. If you remove first, you can compare with the finds pictures.
