| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |

| F6 | Ariston | Means the thermal overload thermostat has tripped due to overheating, or the door switch is failing to register that the door is closed. It is usually caused by a heating circuit fault or a door lock issue. | High |
| F8 | Hotpoint | Means a heating circuit fault, where the heating element is energised when it should not be. It is usually caused by a faulty thermostat, thermal cut-out, or a malfunctioning control board. | High |
| F14 | Indesit | Means a heating circuit fault, specifically that the heating element is not activating. It is usually caused by a faulty heating element, a tripped thermostat, or faulty wiring or control board. | High |
| F4 | Indesit | Means a serious heating circuit fault that leaves the dryer producing no heat, usually within 3 to 5 minutes of operation. It is usually caused by a failed thermostat, a heating element, or a blocked airflow system causing overheating. | High |

I have a indesit idvl75brk(uk) which looks like it has 3 thermostats. What is the middle one for.
Hi Tony, the middle one is the thermister that measures the exhaust air temperature inside the dryer.
Looking for a thermostat to fit a Hotpoint tumble dryer, tdwsf 83b do/uk, 240V . It has an orange dot on the back of one of them. Do you have a set that is compatible with this model as nowhere seems to.
Hi Damian, this kit has one blue spot and one orange spot thermostat.
Why there is a blue dot on one of them? Does it matter how I connect themy in terms of left and right kinnda prawns? Regards Kamila
Hi Kamila, thanks for your message. One is a thermostat and the other is a cut out, so you'll need to make sure they are fitted the right way round. If you're unsure on which way they go, I'd recommend contacting an engineer.
Does this include both thermostats in the kit?
Hi Brian, I can confirm both the thermostat and the cut out are supplied in this kit.
