Possible Causes
Dryer installed in very cold room, faulty inlet NTC sensor, control misreading ambient temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal checks.
Correct ambient and sensor issues:
- Ensure the dryer is installed in a room within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range (typically above 10°C).
- Check that air inlets are not blocked and that the room is not subject to strong drafts.
- Test the inlet NTC sensor for correct resistance at room temperature; replace if out of specification.
- If the environment and sensor are correct but F56 persists, the control board may require professional diagnosis.
