What the C2 Error Means
The C2 error code generally indicates that the tumble dryer is having difficulty draining condensation away correctly. This may prevent the tumble dryer from completing a drying cycle.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked or kinked drain hose
The condensation drain hose may be kinked, blocked or not properly attached at both ends.
Full water reservoir
If the tumble dryer collects water in a reservoir rather than draining externally, the reservoir may be full and need emptying.
Drain hose positioned too high
If the drain hose is positioned higher than 1 metre it may prevent water from draining away correctly.
Blocked drainage system
The external drain the hose empties into may be blocked or restricted.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the drain hose
Inspect the condensation drain hose and make sure it is properly attached at both ends with no kinks or loops.
Check the drain hose height
Make sure the drain hose is not positioned higher than 1 metre as this can prevent correct drainage.
Empty the water reservoir
If your model collects water in a reservoir, remove it and empty it in the sink before restarting.
Restart the tumble dryer
