Dryer displays E08 and may not heat correctly; often associated with fan or airflow sensor issues.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the dryer from the mains before removing panels. Moving fan blades can cause injury.
Access the fan assembly:
- Remove the rear or side panel (depending on model) to locate the fan housing and motor.
- Inspect the fan wheel for lint build-up, foreign objects, or damage.
Checks:
- Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. It should turn freely without scraping. Clean out lint and debris from the housing.
- Motor test: With power disconnected, check the fan motor wiring and connectors. If you have the skills and tools, measure motor winding resistance and compare to specifications.
- Air ducts: Follow the air path from the heater through the drum to the outlet or condenser. Clear any lint clumps or obstructions.
Sensor (if fitted): Some Belling models use a pressure or airflow sensor. Inspect the small rubber tube and sensor body for blockages or damage. Replace if faulty.
Re-test: After cleaning and any part replacement, reassemble and run a cycle. Persistent E08 suggests a deeper control board or sensor calibration issue requiring professional service.
