How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug and allow the machine to cool before accessing dryer components.

  • Clean condenser: On condenser-type Indesit washer-dryers, access the condenser (often at the bottom front or rear) and rinse out lint and scale under running water.
  • Clean air paths: Remove top and rear panels and vacuum lint from dryer ducts, fan housing, and around the heater.
  • Check dryer fan: Ensure the fan impeller is intact and spins freely. If the fan motor does not run during drying, test and replace it.
  • Verify heater and NTC: Test dryer heater and NTC as per F13/F14. Replace faulty components.
