Dryer stops shortly after start or will not start; E02 appears on the display.

Safety first: Switch off and unplug the dryer before removing panels or hoses.

• Empty the water tank: Pull out the condensate water tank (usually at the top-left or bottom-right of the dryer). Empty it completely and rinse with warm water to remove detergent residue.
• Clean the float and sensor area: Inside the tank, locate the plastic float. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck by limescale or lint. Clean with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
• Check the condensate hose: If your Amica dryer has a direct drain hose option, inspect the hose for kinks or blockages. Flush it with warm water to clear any lint buildup.
• Inspect the tank sensor contacts: On some models, metal contacts or a small sensor are located where the tank slides in. Wipe these contacts with a dry cloth. Ensure the tank is fully seated when reinserted.
• Test operation: Reinsert the tank firmly, plug the dryer back in, and start a short program. If E02 returns even with an empty, clean tank, the level sensor or float switch assembly may need replacement.
