Possible Causes
Failed heat pump compressor, Faulty compressor inverter board, Blocked refrigerant circuit or low refrigerant charge, Defective temperature or pressure sensor in heat pump system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Heat pump systems contain high-pressure refrigerant; do not open sealed components.
- Clean airflow components: Ensure all filters and the condenser are clean to avoid false heat pump errors due to poor airflow.
- Listen for compressor: Start a cycle and listen for the compressor starting after a short delay (you may hear a low humming). If it never starts, suspect compressor or inverter issues.
- Check condenser temperature: After 10–15 minutes of operation, the condenser area should feel warm. If it remains cold and E10 appears, the heat pump is not functioning correctly.
- Visual inspection: With panels removed, check wiring to the compressor and inverter board for loose connections or burn marks.
- Do not handle refrigerant: Any suspected refrigerant leak, compressor failure, or sealed system issue must be handled by an authorized Gorenje service technician with proper equipment.
