If memory serves me well I believe 
the dryer timer controls the motor for tumbling via the wash timer so it may pay you to check to see if its got a burnt out connection between the 2 timers.
In the UK these were indeed known as Ariston 950XD or the more common 850XD the buttons on the front did not select the water temp though as that was done via the wash timer. Sorry I cannot help you any more as its a long time ago I took one apart....:0) Austin | ||

Thank you for your responses. I was able to get it working last night by replacing the run capacitor on the drum motor. It has run a few loads since, and dries surprisingly well for 120v. After reading horror stories from owners of newer combo units, I’m happy to have one that is still easily serviceable. | ||

Hello Chad,
Wow! What an interesting property. Well this is in fact not an Indesit. In the UK these machines were sold under the brand Colston Ariston. But they were made by Riber, an indipendent Italian manufacturer from Torino (IT). Unfortunately the Company went bankrupt. They made some forefront machines and of very good quality. They also made the only one (for what I know) solid tube drum in a frontloader. Ok yes it's a bit strange, it wasn't a comlpete solid drum, because it had some holes on the back of the drum but wasn't perforated just like all washing machines drums in Europe. Ingemar | ||
