Possible Causes

Blocked condenser or air ducts, Failed dryer heater element, Faulty dryer thermostat or NTC, Overloaded drum during drying

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before accessing dryer components.

  • Reduce load size: For drying, fill the drum only about half full so air can circulate.
  • Clean filters and condenser: Clean any lint filters and, if accessible, remove and wash the condenser unit.
  • Check heater operation: During a drying cycle, carefully feel the top or side of the cabinet after several minutes; it should feel warm. If not, test the dryer heater and thermostats as described in E08.
  • Inspect ducts and fan: Remove panels to check for lint build-up and ensure the dryer fan is running freely.
