| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |

Simple replacement and quite inexpensive. I fitted these while replacing the heater element, must have added nearly 3 minutes to the job. Delighted
Original makers parts, easy to fit. Make sure you get the correct temperature
Thought part might be hard to get as drier 15 yrs old but was easy to obtain and easy to fit would use Ransom again
Tumble dryer stopped heating. So found this website which was awesome at find the right part for the machine. Delived on time took 5 minutes to fit. Works like new 👍
Part came within timescale indicated. As described. Fixed the tumble dryer. Only slight negative is that the box the part came in wasn’t very strong and had been squished in transit. Luckily the part wasn’t damaged. Good service would use again.
Does this fit a indesit IS31V(UK) tumble dryer I used the check but it was unable to confirm if it was compatible, thanks
Hi Stacey, the thermostat kit required for your model is RS144886.
I have a Creda 37748E tumble dryer and only get high heat and no lower heat? what parts do I need to fix this?
Hi Jim, thanks for your question. Unfortunately we aren't able to diagnose the issue with your tumble dryer. I would recommend contacting an engineer to see if they're able to let you know what part you require. Once you know we should be able to source the part you need.
