Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| F13 | Ariston | Means a dryer circuit malfunction involving the NTC temperature sensor, a heating element failure, or a lack of airflow. It is usually caused by a faulty sensor or a blockage in the condenser or heater unit. | High |
| F4 | Ariston | Means a heating circuit fault where the dryer cannot heat up or has detected a faulty water sensor, leading to cold air production. It is usually caused by a tripped thermostat, a faulty thermal fuse, or a damaged heating element. | High |
| 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 |
| F7 | Ariston | Means the dryer cannot heat properly or at all, or on some models a motor circuit fault prevents the drum from turning. It is usually caused by a heater relay fault, a heating element failure, or a control board malfunction. | High |
| F8 | Ariston | Means a heater element or heater relay fault. It is usually caused by a burned-out heating element, a faulty relay on the PCB, or wiring damage. | High |
| E2 | Hotpoint | Means a serious heating fault that causes the dryer to overheat or fail to heat. It is usually caused by a faulty thermistor, a broken heating element, or a control board 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 |
| F8 | Indesit | Means a heater fault that pauses the cycle partway through. It is usually caused by a heater relay fault, a shorted or open heating element, or wiring damage. | High |

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.
This is a genuine tumble dryer heater element. Has wires to connect it to your dryer’s control system.
The heater element produces the heat circulated in the drying chamber. This heat evaporates moisture from your damp laundry including shirts, towels, and other items inside the dryer.
If the heating element isn't working properly, the dryer will still spin and the cycle will complete, but it won't get hot enough to help dry the clothes. Change it with this replacement part.
Check out our DIY video guide below to help you with the replacement process.
This heater element is from Hotpoint but also fits select models of Ariston, Creda, Crusader, Electra, Export, Indesit, Jackson, and Proline tumble dryers.
Before ordering, please verify that this part is suitable for your model using our compatibility checker.
Please note that the following video will give you a guide on how to fit this part, however the exact fitting may differ depending on your make and model.
Safety Warning - Always unplug from the mains before carrying out any repairs.
This was easy to install, identical to the original and revived my tumble dryer in double quick time. I also replaced the thermostats at the same time for just a few pounds extra. I highly recommend the company and the product.
Arrived promptly - carefully packaged as is a fairly fragile piece of kit. On the Crusader is straightforward to replace. Should have ordered replacement thermistors at the same time !!!
Direct replacement for original element. Fitted and working in minutes. Cabling as per original for Creda drier
The part was exactly as needed to rectify the drying problem. I did post a question asking for the wattage of this product but did not receive a response despite the fact that the question was acknowledged.
Did the job perfectly, well worth the price and saved us from having to buy a new dryer. Very happy customers!
Hi, Can you tell me if this would fit my Creda Tumble drier, It says it will be suitable for my model 'T601CW' but I have been made aware that there are two heaters depending on whether it is pre or post '82' on the start of serial numbers? Can you also confirm if it is made by Indesit spare number C00206317 please. Thanks Johnnie
Hi Johnnie, the part number relating to C00206317 is RS4253.
