How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before checking internal connections.
- Check plug and socket: Ensure the plug fits firmly in the socket and there is no sign of overheating or arcing.
- Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover and check that all terminal block screws are tight and wires are secure.
- Check mains filter: Inspect the mains interference filter for signs of swelling, cracking, or burning. Replace if suspect.
- Control board inspection: Remove the top cover and inspect the main PCB for dry joints or burnt components in the power supply area. Board-level repair is not usually recommended; replace the PCB if damaged.
