Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the control panel or main PCB.
E08 points to an internal control board fault.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker or unplug the dryer for 5 minutes, then restore power and try again. This can clear transient faults.
- Inspect wiring to control: Remove the top panel to access the main control board. Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of heat damage or burning.
- Check for visible board damage: Look for burned components, cracked solder joints, or corrosion on the PCB. If present, the board must be replaced.
- Verify supply voltage: Ensure correct voltage is present at the control board input terminals according to the wiring diagram.
Control board replacement involves transferring all connectors carefully and sometimes programming. If you are not comfortable with electronic repairs, contact a qualified technician.
