What Does My Tumble Dryer Error Code Mean?

Each manufacturer sets its own codes, but most fall into a few groups: blocked airflow or a full filter, a heating or temperature sensor fault, a full water tank or blocked pump on a condenser dryer, the door switch, and the motor or drum drive. Many codes clear once the filter, condenser and tank are cleaned, because airflow is the most common trigger.

Write down the exact code, the model from the plate inside the door and what the dryer was doing, then book a repair. Our tumble dryer repairs technicians match the code to the model on Defy, Bosch, Samsung, LG and other brands and test the part behind it.

What Dryer Codes Usually Point To

Most dryer codes fall into one of these systems.

Airflow

Lint filter, condenser or vent hose.

Heating

Element, thermostat or temperature sensor.

Water tank

Full tank, blocked pump or float.

Door

Door switch or catch.

Drive

Motor, belt or drum.

Moisture sensor

Sensor bars or their wiring.

Why Dryer Codes Appear

The control board stops the cycle and shows a code when something is outside its normal range. Common triggers include:

  • Airflow restricted by lint
  • Exhaust temperature too high
  • Temperature sensor reading wrong
  • Water tank full or pump blocked
  • Door switch open
  • Motor not turning

When to stop using the appliance

Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.

Information That Helps Us Prepare

  • The dryer brand

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Tumble Dryer Error Codes

What is the most common tumble dryer error?

Blocked airflow. Lint in the filter or condenser, or a crushed vent hose, triggers a temperature or airflow code on most brands.

Are tumble dryer error codes the same for every brand?

No. Each manufacturer sets its own codes, so send us the brand and model with the code.

How do I reset a tumble dryer error code?

Clean the filter, condenser and tank, then switch off at the wall for five minutes and try again. If the same code returns, the fault behind it needs repairing.

How much does it cost to fix a dryer showing an error code?

It depends on the fault behind the code. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
