Dryer displays E08, no heat, fan may run normally

Safety first: Disconnect mains power. Work on live circuits and control boards only if you are trained and equipped.

Step-by-step checks:

• Confirm no heat: Run a short cycle and verify that the drum turns and air blows but remains cold (do this before unplugging).
• Inspect heater wiring: Remove the rear panel and check the wiring from the heater to the control board. Look for burnt connectors or loose terminals. Repair or replace damaged connectors.
• Check supply voltage: With the dryer unplugged, visually inspect the main control board for burnt spots around the heater relay. If comfortable and safe, reconnect power and carefully measure voltage at the heater terminals during a heat cycle (only for qualified persons).
• Relay diagnosis: If the control board is not sending power to a known-good heater, the heater relay or board trace is likely faulty. The usual remedy is to replace the entire control board.

Recommendation: Because this involves mains voltage and PCB work, most users should contact a professional technician for E08 faults.
