Indesit Dryers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Indesit IDCE 8450BH Dryer. Hello, I have an Indesit IDCE 8450BH and it doesn't heat up enough.
If the heating element has been replaced and you can see that it becomes red, but it still doesn't heat up enough to dry the load, there are a few possible causes:
- Airflow restriction: Make sure that the dryer's lint filter and exhaust duct are clean and free of obstructions. Poor airflow can cause the dryer to overheat and shut off the heating element prematurely, leading to inadequate heating.
- Thermostat malfunction: The dryer's thermostat controls the temperature inside the dryer and turns the heating element on and off accordingly. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, it may not be allowing the heating element to heat up to the proper temperature. You can test the thermostat with a multimeter to see if it is functioning correctly.
- Faulty cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for cycling the heating element on and off to maintain the proper temperature. If the cycling thermostat is malfunctioning, it may not be cycling the heating element on and off properly, leading to inadequate heating.
- Wiring or control board issue: Check the wiring connections to the heating element and thermostat to ensure that they are secure and not damaged. If the wiring is fine, there may be an issue with the dryer's control board, which controls the heating element and thermostat.
It is recommended to consult a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair of the issue, especially if you are not familiar with electrical troubleshooting or working with appliances.
