How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the circuit breaker and unplug the dryer. Do not reset a breaker repeatedly without finding the cause.

  • Inspect power cord: Check the cord for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Ensure the terminal block connections at the dryer are tight and not burnt.
  • Check for visible shorts: Remove the rear panel and inspect wiring harnesses for melted insulation or wires touching the metal cabinet.
  • Test heating element for ground fault: Disconnect the heater wires and measure resistance between each heater terminal and the metal housing. Any continuity indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.
  • Inspect main PCB: Look for burnt tracks or components near the power input. If damaged, the board must be replaced.
  • After correcting any wiring or component faults, reassemble, restore power, and test. If E10 or breaker trips continue, contact a qualified technician to perform further insulation and current draw tests.
