Indesit WIDL146 Washer Dryer

[BigDixter]

We have one of these but the drying is failing. I strongly suspect that the air is not being warmed. There are no flashing lights for codes (see them listed here //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=185931&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=)

Am I safe to conclude that the heating element is gone or should I do some more diagnostics?

Thanks for your help!

I know it's an old thread but I've just had this problem and managed to find the culprit:

1. Take the top off the washer to reveal the heater
2. There is a pink wire with a yellowish sleeve that is clamped with one screw. This sleeve hid a break in the wire. I removed the whole wire to fix the break and everything is fine again.

Hope that helps someone
