Indesit Tumble Dryer Thermostat Kits

Thermostat kits to fit Indesit tumble dryers. The thermostats control the drying temperature and cut the heat if the dryer overheats, so a faulty one can leave your clothes damp or let the machine run too hot.

If your dryer has stopped heating, runs too hot, or keeps cutting out part way through a cycle, a failed thermostat is a common cause, and it’s usually a cheap fix compared with replacing the whole machine.

All kits are model-specific, so the one you need depends on your exact dryer model.

You’ll find the model number on the rating plate, which on most Indesit tumble dryers sits inside the door opening or on the back of the machine. Check that number before you order, because a kit made for one model won’t fit another.

Signs your thermostat kit needs replacing

Any of these can point to a failed thermostat:

• No heat during the drying cycle
• Clothes are taking much longer to dry than normal
• The dryer is getting too hot to touch
• The dryer is cutting out unexpectedly
• The thermal cut-out tripped because of overheating

If you’re seeing one or more of these, a new thermostat kit will often fix the problem without the cost of a new appliance.

Finding the right kit for your dryer

We stock kits for a wide range of Indesit tumble dryers. Different models use different thermostat setups, so check your model number against the kit before ordering. If you’re not sure which one you need, use our model search to find the parts that match your machine.

Most kits contain more than one thermostat. It’s worth fitting all the parts supplied at the same time, because the older thermostat can fail soon after if you only swap the one that’s gone. That saves you from having to strip the dryer down twice.
