| 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 |
