  • I have just bought a washer/dryer as above and it came with a new sensor fitted, still flashed F13, i checked the fan, it seemed stiff, freed it off and now everything works great. By Ray - Bolton. - 19 July 2016

    The error F13 is to indicate a dryer sensor (ntc) problem. Whilst it is possible that it could be another fault it is highly likely in this case to be Stock Number: ES663906 fitted on the right side of the dryer heater assembly on the top of the tub.

    Hi there, the element is situated at the rear of the dryer. First you'll need to unscrew and remove all clips from the protruding cover on the back panel of the dryer. You should then see a metal fan as well as another cover. The element it situated underneath this cover. Remove it, and uncouple the old element from all the wires and fittings. Then reverse the process to fit the new one. Check out this video for help: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/tumble-dryers/a/9/1284/how-to-fix-a-dryer-thats-not-heating-up-hotpo.html. The dryer in the video is a lot more basic than yours, but hopefully the process involved should help you understand your dryer a little better.

  • when mine packed in on our indisit washer/dryer nothing would work, everytime i switch it on it would trip the power. i tried too not us the element thinking i would be able too use the washer only but the machine went awire. so i think it does heat your water up as well, plus it was damp when i opened the section up.

    No, the heating element is the part that actually provides the heat. How much of it is controlled by the thermostat though. See our advice centre for more information.

Answer this question

Hi. Machine is working fine apart from not drying clothes in dryer cycle. When using dryer at weekend, main trip went on house electrics. reset trip and all ok other than not drying when tried since. Having read numerous articles, suggestions are it could be a problem with Dryer Heating element, Thermostat, Capacitor or PCB. Any suggestions on which to check first? Does tripping power suggest one ahead of another? There's no flashing lights or error messages showing. Any help much appreciated. Thanks

    Check the dryer element Stock Number: ES1562468. The resistance should be around sixty ohms.

  • Before getting a new dryer element do a continuety test on the element if this fails then the element needs replacing ie- con test is being able to pass a small currant from one terminal to the other or use a test meter with this facility By Anonymous - - 13 October 2011

  • The heater element has power during the wash cycle as it supplies heat for the washing water temperature. The same heating element supplies heat for the tumble dryer when on a dry cycle. So there will be a voltage 240 v even during non drying cycles as the wash water will require heat unless a cold wash is selected. By hotpointwdl540pDAVE - HARROGATE - 05 February 2010

    Sorry we are usually not given that much technical information or measurements of parts because they are model specific. As long as the dryer element is listed for your model, it should fit your appliance.

I think that the coil has gone open cct as i can get no reading at all.

By Abigail - - 18 March 2009
  • Ahem Resistance is measured in Ohms not watts. Conversion here http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-ohm.htm comes out as 48 ohms. if you are getting no readings, the element is "open curcuit" AKA knackered. Rich By Rich - standind well clear - 05 October 2010
