Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. The control board contains live mains circuitry; only work on it if you are competent with electronics and safety procedures.
Basic external checks:
- Verify the wall socket and plug are in good condition and firmly connected.
- Check the mains cable for cuts, burns, or kinks.
Internal inspection:
- Remove the top cover to access the main control PCB (usually mounted at the side or rear).
- Inspect the board for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or blown tracks, especially around relays and the power supply section.
- Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of overheating.
Action:
- If obvious damage is found, the safest solution is to replace the entire main control PCB with the correct Belling part number.
- Do not attempt to bridge burnt tracks or bypass safety components unless you are a qualified electronics technician.
After replacement: Reassemble, reconnect power, and test. If E09 persists, there may be a short in another component (e.g. motor, heater) feeding back to the board; professional diagnosis is recommended.
