Possible Causes

Internal failure of main control PCB, Corrupted firmware, Loose wiring harness between user interface PCB and main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the control panel or main board.

  • Power reset: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes to discharge internal capacitors, then reconnect and try again.
  • Check display and buttons: Ensure no buttons are stuck and the control knob (if fitted) turns freely.
  • Inspect wiring: Remove the top cover and inspect the wiring harness between the user interface (front panel) and the main control PCB. Reseat all connectors firmly.
  • Look for PCB damage: Check the main PCB for burn marks, swollen components, or corrosion. Any visible damage usually requires board replacement.
  • Professional service: If E08 persists after reseating connectors and power reset, the control board or interface board likely needs replacement and programming by an authorised Montpellier service agent.
