hi,take off the bulged panel on the back of your indesit,.this will give you access to the heater unit.on that model the two stats are mounted on the heater unit.take out the heater.the heater will show visual signs of damage ,the stats will not.look carefully on the rear of the mid stat for a tiny hole/this is to reset the stat./not fitted to all models,.use a pin to reset.I personally replace the whole unit if the element has faild.if all looks ok,then get back to us and we will let you know how to test the components .
