Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspecting cords or internal wiring.

  • 1. Check plug and socket: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the socket and does not get hot. Try a different socket if possible.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for signs of damage, kinks, or burns. Replace the cord if any defects are found.
  • 3. Internal connections: Remove the top panel and check the main power connections at the entry point, filter (EMI suppressor), and control board. Tighten any loose spade connectors.
  • 4. Vibration issues: Excessive vibration can loosen connections. Ensure the dryer is level and stable.
  • 5. Control board: If flickering persists with all connections secure, the PCB's power supply may be failing and should be replaced by a technician.
