Possible Causes
Blocked airflow (lint filter, condenser, exhaust), Faulty NTC giving incorrect readings, Control board miscalculation, Overloaded drum
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power and allow the dryer to cool fully.
- Clean and inspect airflow:
- Clean lint filter and condenser thoroughly.
- Check exhaust hose and wall vent for obstructions.
- Reduce load size: Overloading can cause poor air circulation and overheating; test with a half load.
- Check NTC sensors: Inspect inlet and outlet NTC sensors and wiring for damage; replace if faulty.
- Reset and test: After cleaning and checks, unplug for 5 minutes, reconnect, and run a short cycle. If F24 returns, professional diagnosis of sensors and control board is recommended.
Warning: Persistent overtemperature faults can indicate a serious airflow or control issue; do not ignore them.
