Dryer shows E18; may stop mid-cycle with a beeping alarm; often related to water tank on condenser models.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing internal panels. Water spills can create slip hazards; wipe up any leaks.

• Empty and reseat tank: Remove the condensate water tank, empty it completely, and reinstall it firmly until it clicks into place.
• Check tank inlet: Inspect the opening where water enters the tank for lint or debris. Clean thoroughly.
• Inspect float and sensor: On some Fagor models, a float in the tank or sump triggers a level switch. Ensure the float moves freely and the switch operates (continuity test).
• Check tank presence switch: Some dryers use a microswitch to detect the tank. Verify that the switch is actuated when the tank is inserted and that wiring is intact.
• Test operation: After cleaning and checks, run a cycle. If E18 persists, the level sensor or control board input may be faulty and require replacement.
