How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Electrical issues can be hazardous. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
- Step 1 – Dedicated circuit: Ensure the Hansa washer-dryer is on a dedicated circuit with appropriate amperage as per local codes.
- Step 2 – Inspect terminal block: With power off, check the internal mains terminal block for loose screws or heat damage. Tighten and replace as necessary.
- Step 3 – Component isolation: If tripping occurs only during heating, test the wash and dryer heaters for insulation faults as in E09.
- Step 4 – Professional testing: Persistent breaker trips warrant professional insulation and load testing of the appliance and household wiring.
