Possible Causes

Unstable mains voltage, Faulty power supply section on control board, Loose mains connection block, Damaged line filter (EMI filter)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Mains voltage is dangerous; only qualified persons should work on live circuits.

  • Check wall outlet: Verify that the outlet provides the correct voltage and is not loose. Avoid using long extension cords.
  • Inspect mains cable: Check the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace if damaged.
  • Access terminal block: Remove the rear cover over the mains terminal block. Ensure all screws are tight and there are no signs of overheating.
  • Line filter and PCB: Visually inspect the EMI filter and control board for burned components or bulging capacitors. If found, the board or filter should be replaced by a technician.
  • Persistent E16: If the household supply is stable and connections are good, the internal power supply on the PCB may be faulty and require professional repair.
