Possible Causes

Blocked condenser unit, Failed condenser fan motor, Broken or loose fan impeller

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power. Internal metal edges can be sharp; wear gloves.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Clean the condenser: Remove the condenser module from the front lower compartment. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water from both sides until water runs clear. Allow to drain and dry.
  • Inspect condenser housing: Remove lint and dust from the housing and air channels using a vacuum and soft brush.
  • Access the fan: Remove the rear or side panel to locate the condenser fan assembly. Check that the fan impeller is intact and firmly attached to the motor shaft.
  • Check for obstructions: Remove any lint clumps or foreign objects around the fan blades that could prevent rotation.
  • Test fan motor operation: With the dryer reassembled enough for safe operation, start a cycle and listen/observe whether the fan runs. If the motor is silent or only hums, it may be faulty.

When to call a technician: Replacement of the condenser fan motor or fan assembly usually requires significant disassembly and should be done by a professional if you are not experienced.
