Ambient / Inlet Air Temperature Sensor Fault
Symptom
Dryer causes the household circuit breaker or RCD to trip during operation.
Electrical Short or Ground Fault
Symptom
Dryer display and buttons behave erratically; settings change by themselves or display flickers.
User Interface / Control Panel Instability
Symptom
Dryer display shows unusually long remaining times or time jumps unexpectedly during the cycle (no specific error code).
Auto-Sensing / Load Detection Behavior
Symptom
Dryer does not heat; clothes remain cold and damp at the end of the cycle, but drum turns normally and time counts down.
Heating Element or Thermal Fuse Failure
Symptom
Dryer door is difficult to open or does not stay closed properly during operation.
Door Hinge / Latch Misalignment
Symptom
Dryer drum does not turn; motor hums or clicks, or nothing happens when Start is pressed, though lights are on.
Drive Belt / Motor Start Failure
Symptom
Dryer drum light does not turn on when the door is opened, but dryer otherwise works normally.
Drum Light Failure
Symptom
Dryer emits a burning smell or very hot odor during operation.
Overheating / Lint Ignition Risk
Symptom
Dryer has a musty or moldy smell that transfers to clothes.
Microbial Growth in Lint and Condensate Areas
Symptom
Dryer leaks water onto the floor during or after operation (condenser/heat pump models).
Condensate Leakage / Drain System Fault
Symptom
Dryer leaves black or brown marks on clothes after drying.
Drum Seal or Felt Contamination / Damage
Symptom
Dryer makes loud squealing or screeching noises during operation, especially at start-up.

Start Circuit / Safety Interlock Issue
Symptom
Dryer produces a loud thumping or banging noise as the drum turns.
Out-of-Round Drum or Flat-Spotted Rollers
Symptom
Dryer runs but clothes come out very wrinkled and creased.
Improper Cool-Down / Drum Reversal Issues
Symptom
Dryer runs but takes excessively long to dry clothes; laundry is still damp after the normal program duration.
Restricted Airflow / Reduced Heating Efficiency
Symptom
Dryer stops mid-cycle and shuts off completely, then can be restarted after a cool-down period.
Overheating Motor or Thermal Overload Trip
Symptom
Dryer vibrates excessively or moves across the floor during operation.
Excessive Vibration / Imbalance
Symptom
Dryer will not start at all; no lights or display, completely dead.
