Indesit IDC85 user manual

There could be several reasons why your Indesit dryer is not getting hot. Here are some possible causes:
1. Heating Element: The most common cause of a dryer not heating is a faulty heating element. Over time, the heating element may burn out or become damaged, resulting in a lack of heat. You might need to replace the heating element.
2. Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating. If the thermal fuse is blown, it will cause the dryer to stop producing heat. It is a small part located near the heating element and can be checked with a multimeter for continuity.
3. Thermostat Issues: Your dryer has various thermostats that regulate the temperature. If any of these thermostats are faulty or out of calibration, it can cause the dryer to not heat properly. Test the thermostats for continuity with a multimeter and replace any that are defective.
4. Ventilation Blockage: A clogged or restricted dryer vent can limit airflow, causing the dryer to overheat and potentially not produce heat. Check the vent hose and ensure it is free from any obstructions. Clean out any lint buildup or debris that could be blocking proper airflow.
5. Power Supply: Ensure that the dryer is properly connected to a working power outlet. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure that the dryer is receiving adequate power. A fluctuating or inconsistent power supply can also affect the dryer's heating ability.
If you are not familiar or comfortable with troubleshooting electrical components, it is recommended to consult a professional technician or contact Indesit customer support for further assistance.

The drying settings for Indesit depends on the specific model of the appliance. However, most Indesit dryers have common drying settings such as:
1. Cottons: This setting is suitable for drying cotton items such as towels, bed sheets, and clothing made of cotton fabric.
2. Synthetics: This setting is ideal for drying synthetic fabrics like polyester or acrylic.
3. Delicates: This setting is designed for drying delicate and fragile items such as lingerie, silk garments, or woolen clothes.
4. Iron Dry: This setting is used to partially dry clothes so that they are ready for ironing.
5. Cupboard Dry: This setting ensures that clothes are fully dried and ready to be stored in the cupboard or wardrobe.
6. Extra Dry: This setting provides maximum drying time and heat for heavily soaked items or thicker fabrics.
7. Refresh: This setting is used to remove odors from clothes without a full drying cycle.
It is important to refer to the specific user manual of your Indesit dryer to determine the exact settings and features of your model.

There could be several reasons why your Indesit dryer is not drying properly. It is important to check the following potential causes:
1. Insufficient airflow: Check if the lint filter and exhaust vent are clean and free from obstructions. A clogged filter or vent can restrict airflow, preventing proper drying.
2. Overloading: Overloading the dryer with too many clothes can hinder proper airflow and drying. Make sure you are not putting too many items in the dryer at once.
3. Incorrect cycle settings: Ensure that you have selected the correct drying cycle and settings for the type of clothes you are drying. Different fabrics require different heat and drying times.
4. Heating element issues: The heating element in your dryer may be faulty or damaged, leading to inadequate heat production. If you suspect this, it might be necessary to call a technician to check and possibly replace the heating element.
5. Faulty thermostat or sensor: If the dryer's internal thermostat or sensor is malfunctioning, it may not accurately measure the temperature or moisture level, resulting in improper drying. This would also require professional assistance to diagnose and repair.
If none of these solutions solve the issue, it is recommended to contact Indesit's customer service or a professional appliance repair technician for further assistance.
