I have a indesit IS60v Vented tumble dryer.
The machine comes on but the drum does not go round i have called out someone twice before because of this problem someone is supposed to be coming out the end of the month to fix it.Can anyone help by telling me what could be wrong with it ,and do you think they should give me a new one, as i payed for an extra 4 yrs guarantee and it doesnt run out until 2009.

under warranty.maybe belt broke?whenyou call for repair,tell them that you smell a burning odor,maybe they will come faster.

Two things. (1) The machine is under warranty, demand that they come out within a reasonable amount of time. If they don't tell them you're going to contact watchdog or something similar. (2) If the drums’ not turning but the motor is running then the chances are the belt has come off or broken. Easy enough to fix.

If this is going to be your third replacement of a belt make sure that the service man is aware of the situation and the time frame in which it has occurred. He may be able to do something to prevent this from happening again in a short time. It is to your and their benefit if a future failure can be prevented. Dryer belts normally last 5-10 years and it seems that yours is only lasting 1 year at best.

we had the same problem with our tumble dryer I took off the back plate and found that the earth wire that was connected to the drum was loose, I tightened up the screw thus completing the electrical circuit and the problem was solved.
hope this helps .

sounds like the heater, mine not the same make went exactly 1 year after i bought it, luckily we took out the extra 5 year insurance,
same thing happened every year it was the heater, so he put a bigger heater in and said it would last longer then the tumble dryer, this was 3 year ago.if you have extra insurance use it, they wont give you a new one just keep repairing it

Could just need a new belt. How old is it and how much did you pay?Might, too, have been unbalanced. If you over loaded it at any time that might be the case. The repairman should be able to determine if such was the case.

if someone has opened the dryer up before you have contacted the shop you bought if from the warranty may be void

The wiring to the motor is not intact, it may have loosened
may be the fuse for the motor blew

You need a new belt, it will be or should be covered with your warranty.
