Indesit WIDL126 washer/dryer not drying

[portenita]

Looking good. Here is the report of events.

I read in some other post that you'd ask somebody to check whether the spindle was spinning, and realised that mine wasn't. So I split the silver round case of what I think is the fan motor and disassembled it, and found that there was a tiny little 'ring' (washer?) broken, blocking the spinning.

Assembled the whole thing again, eventually found the lost nut (after literally turning the machine on its side) and now... IT WORKS!!! So far, so good, the dryer has been working for many minutes and it has not failed again. Fingers crossed, I'll run a full drying cycle tonight.

Rocks1, MANY THANKS!

I take it its still working. Glad it's done , if it goes again you know what to do.

Sorry I didn't post final results. Yes, it's back on its feet working perfectly! I just hope that small washer that had broken is not indispensible!
Thanks again, Rocks1!
