Following on from the waching machine thread the other day, does anyone know how to fix an indesit tumble drier. It comes on and spins, but it stays cold. I've emptied the fluff things and water tray. To my expert brain it would seem like the element is knackered. Is there any way of testing?

Where would i find that? And is it even worth bothering? The thing is like new and it matches the washing machine, but I got it from powerhouse and they went bust so I cant take it back

Somewhere inside the machine Sorry i can't be more specific but as said above it's a wee switch you need to push in.

No, but it might have been before. Could that have been what tripped it? I reset it like u said and it seems to be working. I'll get those from ebay anyway tho to be on the safe side. Cheers

nah,just means u were lazy and didnt empty the water

there pretty sensitve dryers,normally they trip due to the condenser and filter not being cleaned regular enuff!
