Product Information

Resetting the thermostat is an especially great idea if your dryer has started to under- or overheat your laundry, as the thermostat is responsible for your dryer heating up more or less as needed. You should source both of the thermostats and replace them if your dryer is not heating up. This is usually cheaper than replacing the heating element. If you are sure that the above problem ( with the Indesit IDV75 overheating) is not being caused by you then you may have a damaged temperature sensor and will be better off calling Indesit’s technical support center for further assistance on the issue. If the tumble dryer is still not starting, it is likely a circuit board issue that needs professional repairs. The Dryer is not Drying Clothes
