Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Dryer components can remain hot after use; allow time to cool.
Step-by-step checks:
- Clean lint and condenser: Remove the lower front condenser access (if fitted) and clean the condenser unit thoroughly under running water. Clear lint from all accessible ducts and the door filter area.
- Access dryer heater: On many Candy washer-dryers, the dryer heater is located at the rear or on the top duct. Remove the top and/or rear panel to locate the heater assembly.
- Test the dryer heater: Disconnect the heater terminals and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed heater that must be replaced.
- Check thermostats/thermal cut-outs: The heater assembly usually has one or more thermostats or thermal fuses. Test each for continuity. Any open device (that is not resettable) must be replaced.
- Inspect dryer NTC: Locate the dryer temperature sensor (often on the air duct). Measure its resistance and compare with specifications. Replace if open/shorted.
- Reassemble and test: After cleaning and replacing faulty parts, run a drying-only cycle with a small load and confirm that warm air is produced.
When to call a technician: If all components test correctly, the fault may lie in the main PCB or dryer relay, which should be checked by a professional.
