| F6 | Indesit | Means a door lock or door switch fault that stops the machine starting because it cannot detect the door is securely closed. It is usually caused by a faulty door lock or door switch, or a motor or sensor issue. | Medium |

General fitting guidance. The exact steps can vary slightly with the make and model of your tumble dryer.
Safety: Switch off and unplug at the mains before you start.
Genuine door lock for keeping your tumble dryer door closed. Made of plastic and metal to withstand wear and tear during washing cycles. Has a spring inside and a tab to fit in the slot in your door assembly.
The door lock secures the tumble dryer door and the drying cycle won’t start if the door is open.
It also helps keep you safe from the dryer’s moving parts or exposure to hot air during the cycle. You get less water leaks too while drying your clothes.
This door lock is from Hotpoint. Also fits Ariston, Creda, Export, and Indesit tumble dryers.
Before ordering, please verify that this part fits your model using our compatibility checker.
Our old tumble drier had started to not start when you closed the door, tracked it down to a short in the switch that is activated by the door handle. Ransom provided a perfect replacement. Came within days and was easy to fit because the new part matched the old one exactly. Tumble drier escapes the trip to the dump!
