Possible Causes
Blocked lint filter or condenser, Failed NTC sensor reading too low, Stuck heater relay on PCB, Faulty airflow fan
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool completely before working on it.
- 1. Clean all filters and condenser: Remove lint filter and any secondary filters; wash and dry them. Remove the condenser/heat exchanger and rinse thoroughly.
- 2. Check fan operation: With panels removed (and observing all safety precautions), briefly power the dryer and confirm that the internal fan runs when heating is active. Switch off immediately after checking.
- 3. Inspect vents: Ensure exhaust or air outlets are not blocked by dust, lint, or objects behind the machine.
- 4. When to call a technician: Persistent E62 after cleaning suggests a faulty NTC sensor, heater relay, or control board, which should be diagnosed by a professional.
