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 and let it cool before you start.
When a tumble dryer's heater element converts electrical energy into heat, it radiates throughout the dryer drum. This coil or wire heats up as electricity passes through it, and dryer thermostats regulate the temperature by monitoring the heat from the heating element to ensure safe and efficient operation.
A malfunctioning heating element can result in inadequate heat production or no heat at all, and have inefficient drying and longer drying times. Similarly, the thermostats need replacement if they fail to regulate the temperature accurately.
When the dryer overheats or underheats, it can damage clothes or cause poor drying performance.
This heater element and thermostat is a genuine Indesit tumble dryer spare part. It also fits Hotpoint tumble dryers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.
