Its the dryer fan thermostat, faulty. the unit will turn off if it does not read the thermostat and that's why you have a code. I would say its safe to use but would have the thermostat replaced. here is a video on how to replace the heater. https://www.espares.co.uk/advice/careandmaintenance/how-to-fix-an-f13-error-on-a-washer-dryer-hotpoint-indesit and these are the sensors. https://www.partmaster.co.uk/washing-machine/wdd-960-k-uk-f069442/thermostat/catalogue.pl?shop=hotpoint&path=52516&model_ref=967828&refine=thermostat, hope this helps.

SOURCE: error codes

My Kenmore H3 stops working, starts beeping and flashing "F9", but it only happens when I'm washing a heavy load like jeans or bath towels. I think it gets off-balance and I have found that if I hit "pause" once and then hold in "start" briefly it somehow resets itself and works fine from then on till the load is completely done.

SOURCE: F13 error during drying cycle

Hi, that indicates that either the fan motor is not working/ blocked or the dryer thermistor (thermostatic sensor) is playing up. Of course, the pcb reads the sensor so it could also be that causing the error.

SOURCE: error code F-08

Hi,

The meaning of F08 is that the heater relay is stuck or cannot be activated for some reason, this has the effect of stopping the water heater from working.
In order to resolve this the only thing you can do is to test the heater, and see if it is o/k.,if it is , then you there is not much else you can do, except call an engineer.
Hoep this resolves your issue. God Bless.

SOURCE: aeg electrolux error message E20 has just flashed

Hi,

it might refer to any blockage in the water supply. So cleaning the pump could primarily resolve this. but it might also be a blockage in the soap tray (when available), the tap or the hose attached to the tap or the air-gap or any water control structure. but most of the times, it is simple blockage of pump. just pull out the manual, remove, clean and replace the pump. this will solve your problem.

cheers

Hotpoint WDD960 F13 code, water not pumping out.

hi if you wash small childrens clothes such as small socks they can get between the door seal and drum. they then get trapped in the rubber hose between the drum and pump which would create the problem you are describing.you would find this hose under the washer.

Wdd960 f13 error code

you could have a problem with the fill valve,shut the water supply off,remove the hoses from the back of washer and mark them so you put them back the same way,stick the hoses into the washer or a bucket and turn the water on,if water comes out of hoses you'll know it's the washer and not the house water valve.if water comes out look into the washer valve where the hoses connect,if you see alot of junk on the screens change the water valve.i want to tell you that i haven't worked on this machine yet,i looked up your error code and it sounds like you're having water issues from what i've read,there's a tech sheet in the washer sometimes down near the bottom cover or taped onto the side wall,it will have all the error codes and tell you how to run the machine in a diagnostics mode to check everything in it,also next time you write in send the full model number off of the machine you're having problems with so whoever is trying to help you can look up your machine,usually you open the door and look around the opening where the door closes in and you should see a tag with the model and serial numbers.hope this helps,best thing to do is find the tech sheet and run it in diagnostics

When i set my drier to dry on high heat it keeps tripping the electric with error code f-13 please could you advise me on why this is thanks

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Indesit (Hotpoint, Ariston) 'F13's refer to 'thermistor circuit fault', 'dryer fan not working', 'dryer NTC (thermostat) fault' and other similar things! There CAN be problems with poor connectivity between cables and plugs/ sockets which could cause similar symptoms. It realy needs a service call to identify/cure, sorry ;-0(
If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Hotpoint WDD960 Washer Dryer - no error code but whenever I put it on a dry cycle it just spins as if working but without actually drying. Any suggestions?

Sounds like heating element is not coming on ..Heating first then with a Fan motor running and water flow the steam that is produced by the heaters are changed to water by the cold water over a condenser , the pump then puts his out to waste..

Fault f13

Hi. F13 indicates dryer fan motor or thermistor problem
If you can't hear the fan motor running on the dry cycle then it is probably faulty.
Hope this helps.
Please feedback.

Hotpoint Washer Dryer WD865 - Dryer Problems

thermister blown or thermal fuse which is a black plug in the top of the dryer box or yellow sleeved wire, if it was noisy maybe the fan has come loose from it's motor. you will need to remove the dryer box on top of the drum to see if the fan is binding. you can push it back to where its not binding and tighten the nut-ANTICLOCKWISE, LEFT HAND THREAD.
usually the machine runs through a check before starting a cycle and will see an f13 and not start even a wash., so you will need to replace the blown parts.
