WHEN SWITCHIN ON THE TUMBLE DRYER, IT TRIPS THE ELECTRIC IE THE FULL HOUSE, BUT IT DOES NOT BLOW THE FUSE IN THE PLUG ? I SWAPPED THE ELECTRIC CABLES ( INTERNALLY ) WITH THE OTHER SWITCH FOR TEMPERATURE,
THIS CURED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT NOW THIS SWITCH ALSO TRIPS THE FULL HOUSE ? I HAVE TESTED THE SOCKET, IT IS OK, IT IS DEFFINETELY THE DRYER ? ANY THOUGHTS ?

Tried all the above although my condenser dryer is a beko that keeps tripping the electric, only had for just over 12 month, as I said we have tried the drying out etc to no avail, but also when the heater element is disconnected the dryer does not run? No lights on the front panel and the drum does not go round? Any idea?

I also had this problem. Removed and cleaned all filters and lied the dryer on its back. It was full of water so I'm guessing some wiring had got wet. Left empty and open for afew days before putting it on for an hour with nothing in it. Make sure it is about a foot away from the wall if possible to allow ventilation. Working fin now :-)

I found that the float was damaged and not lifting to make the switch that tells you the water tank is filed up, new on order from indesit !

Just took the back off did have water inside, dried it with an hairdryer working great now.
Little tip for the future don't try to move it without emtying the water out first, like I did.

Terry Markey, November 2009

just stripped the kidney shapped panel of the back of the dryer found it to be damp used the hair dryer to dry of all damp area put it back together and is now working spot on thank you for the tip

steve harrison, November 2009

yep my dryer was also tripping out.take back cover off and dry with hair dryer take care though if you remove the 2 small screws that hold the element assy it all falls apart bit of a pig to get back to work ,but my dryer now works fine .thanks for the tip.

mark, October 2009

I removed the back panel (the unpainted kidney-shaped cover) and it had about half a pint of water in it. I emptied it and dried out the heating panel with a hair dryer and my tumble dryer is working very well now. No more tripping of electric circuit breakers.

KU, March 2009

i have just carried out the repair as instructed by Paul and my drier is now working perfectly. Thank you very much for your advice you just saved me £200,buy yourself a drink on me.

I have just called out indesit - the dryer is tripping the earth leakage system - just on 12 months old - the problem is that because of the location of the water reservoir the condensed water is pumped up to it. Apparently if the filters/condenser is not cleaned regularly it can become blocked and then water gets thrown about onto the electrics (I think at the rear) of the machine (you may actually see water seeping from the unpainted metal cover at the rear of the machine) the cover can be removed by removing several self tapper screws and drying the cover and surrounding area etc. may help. Keep condenser and filter clean.
