Dryer shows F08 and may not start or may stop shortly after starting.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing internal wiring. Cleaning the sensor bars on the drum side can be done with power off and door open.

• Clean sensor bars:
  • Locate the two metal strips (moisture sensor bars) inside the drum, usually near the lint filter opening.
  • Clean them thoroughly with a soft cloth and a bit of white vinegar or mild detergent to remove fabric softener residue.
  • Dry completely before use.
• Check wiring:
  • Access the area behind the sensor bars (front panel removal may be required).
  • Ensure the sensor wires are firmly connected and not broken.
• Test operation: After cleaning, run a sensor-dry program with a small load. If F08 persists, the sensor or control input may be defective.
• Replace sensor: If wiring is intact but the fault remains, replace the moisture sensor assembly or sensor PCB as specified for your Bauknecht model.

Note: Using excessive fabric softener sheets can coat the sensor bars and cause false readings; reduce usage if this fault recurs.
