Phew - £95 callout fee incl. labour! Apparently replacement parts *are*
free on top of that, and according to the guy at Service Team they are only
free under warranty if I use Service Team to do the work. Does that sound
right to you guys?

My hope is I can find a cheaper company but still get the warranty parts
free. Any suggestions?

* I have just put the dryer on again to test what you suggested, and the
glass is *not* hot, but there is a very slightly warm, humid air feel around
the liquid tray and inside.
* Furthermore when I hit OFF, I can hear the fan power down (it sounds
like when the guy on the Death Star pulls that lever just before it's about
to destroy Yavin, right?!)
* My electricity meter does speed up slightly with it on, but not a great
deal and not as much as if I turn a few lights on.

What does this troubleshooting suggest to you is the culprit? Heating
element perhaps?

Cheers guys.

Thanks guys.

It does get warm, but nowhere near as hot as I seem to remember. Would
that
be the blower then, or the heating element?

I can hear something which I assume is the fan, as soon as I turn on the
dryer, but before the drum starts spinning.

Either way, I'll check out the warranty situation. Cheers.

Hi, I have the Indesit Omega 1200 (WDG1295W) Washer/Dryer.

When I have a relatively small load of socks etc. and put them on to
dry
for
120 mins. following a thorough spin-dry, they do not dry properly. It
takes
a total of 6 x 120 min. sessions (12 hours!) before they are
reasonably
dry.

This is a washer/dryer with no air exhaust port, it just says in the
manual
that it uses the water expulsion pipe to get rid of the air
(presumably
this
just comes out of your sink hole). It has always been bad, but seems
worse
lately.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Andy


i have the exact same machine and have in the past had the blower
replaced,
within warranty period. Does the window get hot when drying?

did you know the machine has a 5 year parts warranty? but i think you
have
to pay the man to come out and tell you what you need, no self
diagnosis!

to be honest, i don't use it for drying anymore coz it's never been
great.
