CodeMeaningFirst checkProcedure
d80DRMeaningExhaust duct is about 80% restricted: the dryer is warning, not stopping.User-fixableFirst checkLint screen first, then the flexible hose behind the machine: it crushes when pushed back.Open guide
d90DRMeaningExhaust duct is about 90% restricted. Drying times will have roughly doubled.User-fixableFirst checkDisconnect the hose and run a two-minute air-fry cycle: strong airflow means the blockage is downstream.Open guide
d95DRMeaningExhaust duct is about 95% restricted. Stop using the dryer: this is the fire-risk threshold.User-fixableFirst checkClear the full run from machine to wall cap, including the exterior flap.Open guide
tE1DRMeaningThermistor 1 error: the inlet/heater temperature sensor is out of range.Service call likelyFirst checkA restricted duct cooks this sensor. Clear airflow first, then measure the thermistor.·
tE2DRMeaningThermistor 2 error: the outlet/exhaust temperature sensor is open or shorted.Service call likelyFirst checkSensor connector at the blower housing; lint packs around it and pulls the terminal loose.·
tE4DRMeaningThermistor 4 error: the compressor-side sensor on heat-pump models is faulty.Service call likelyFirst checkClean the heat-exchanger fins behind the lower flap before condemning the sensor.·
dEDRMeaningDoor error: the drum door is not latching, or the switch has failed.User-fixableFirst checkListen for the click as the door closes; no click means the strike plate has worn.·
PSDRMeaningPower supply error: the dryer saw a mains surge or a phase problem.Service call likelyFirst checkRemove extension leads and plug directly into the wall on its own circuit.·
AEDRMeaningAssembly / EEPROM communication error between the control and display boards.Service call likelyFirst checkUnplug for ten minutes. If it returns immediately, the main board needs replacing.·
nPDRMeaningNo power to the heater leg: one side of the 240 V supply is missing.Service call likelyFirst checkA tripped half of a double-pole breaker: the drum turns, the air stays cold.·
F1DRMeaningComponent fault reported by the main board: usually a relay stuck closed.Service call likelyFirst checkDoes the drum heat when the cycle is off? That confirms a welded heater relay: unplug it now.·
OEDRMeaningCondensate drain error on condenser and heat-pump dryers: the pump cannot clear the tray.User-fixableFirst checkEmpty the water tank and clean its float; sludge on the float is the usual cause.·
