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.
