The heating element is located in the bottom left corner. You will need to remove the drum for access. Once you have the drum out of the way, look for a square box with wires attached. There are 10mm fasteners that hold the heating element to the vent. Rome the screws, mark the wires and positions then remove the heating element. Before replacing the element make sure the thermal fuse and the high limit switches are not faulty.

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Roper dryer takes 2 cycles to dry clothes. How do I look at the heating element? OR since it is still heating, just not quickly enough, could it be something else? OR does it have 2 heating elements?

First of all, unplug the unit before working on it. Be careful inside a fuse box, dangerous voltages. It's usually safe to change fuses or flip a breaker so long as your not in a wet location. Most dryers run the heating element on 220 volts, meaning you can either have one larger breaker or you could have 2 smaller breakers or fuses. If that is the case, possibly one of these breaker "legs" has tripped. Check that first. I would sooner think one of the heating elements are open or "not heating". I would look up the Roper Model number and search for the heating elements section. Some do have a thermal fuse but I think that would cause both elements to quit.

The heating is not working.changed fuse,still nothing

To get proper heat, keep your temp setting at +5 degree than your temp and also mode in "heat "position. If still noheat, check your heating sensor for closed circuit by an OHMs metre.It it'swith RV, check power to RV.Ifit's with heating element check power to element. If power is there but stillno heat means element defective. Replace new heating element. Thanks.
