How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before any inspection.

  • Perform a hard reset: Disconnect power for at least 10 minutes. Press and hold Start/Pause for 10 seconds (if applicable), then reconnect and test.
  • Check installation: Verify that the dryer is connected to the correct voltage and that the exhaust or condenser system is installed according to the manual.
  • Review other symptoms: Note any additional behavior (no heat, no rotation, unusual noises) and cross-check with other specific error codes or faults.
  • Inspect PCB and wiring: Remove top and rear panels to visually inspect wiring harnesses and the main PCB for obvious damage or loose connectors.
  • Service mode diagnostics: Some Fagor models allow entering a diagnostic mode to read sub-codes. This is typically for technicians; consult service documentation.
