because of it being a condesing dryer built into the washer they tend to dry at very high temperatures, i only done a repair yesterday on a candy washer/dryer and they do work on higher temps, the girlonly used it to dry her towels as she has te same issues as yourself were as if u put clothes into dry they get a bit crisp n dry

It should not exceed normal drying temperatures. There has been a failure leaving the heat on constantly. I have lived with condensers since 1983 and they do not run hotter than US dryers. Now, they take longer to dry, yup - but they are not hotter. Try checking whether the condenser is stopped up with lint, a sensor is dirty, a thermostat has failed first. Those things are easy. Most thermostat parts are US available, by the way. Oh,what's the model number? One of us in Europe is bound to know this unit. |

Johnny, A quick web search shows there is a known problem with overheating in the wash program on this series. Wash, not dry, but still...You may still have a chance at Indesit fixing it for free. Try giving them a call. I will ask a friend in England tomorrow what he knows, he works on Hotpoint, Creda, etc. |
