Washer-dryer combo does not heat during drying cycle; clothes come out wet and cold; E10 displayed.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Surfaces in the dryer section may be hot immediately after use; allow to cool.

Step-by-step checks:

• Clean lint and condenser: Remove and clean the condenser unit (if accessible on your Stoves model) and any lint filters. Blocked airflow can overheat and trip thermostats.
• Access dryer heater: Remove the top and rear panels as required. Locate the dryer heater housing, usually at the rear or side of the drum.
• Check thermostats and TCOs: Identify the thermal cut-outs and thermostats mounted on the heater duct. With wires removed and the machine unplugged, test each for continuity. Replace any that are open-circuit with Stoves-compatible parts.
• Test dryer heater element: Measure resistance across the heater terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
• Inspect wiring: Check for burnt connectors or loose terminals on the heater and thermostats.

If all components test correctly but E10 persists, the main control board or dryer relay may be faulty and should be checked by a professional.
