What the E60 Error Means
The E60 error code generally indicates that the dryer is not reaching the correct temperature during a drying cycle. This may cause the dryer to stop mid cycle or fail to dry laundry properly.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty heating element
The heating element may have failed and is no longer generating heat correctly.
Blocked filters
A blocked lint filter or condenser can restrict airflow and prevent the dryer from heating correctly.
Poor ventilation
If the dryer is installed in an enclosed space or a room that is too small, overheating or poor heating performance can occur.
Faulty thermostat
The thermostat that regulates the temperature may have failed.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the heating element or control module may be loose or damaged.
Electronic control board fault
The control board may not be sending the correct signal to the heating element.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the lint filter
Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly. A blocked filter is one of the most common causes of heating faults.
Clean the condenser
Remove and rinse the condenser under running water and allow it to dry fully before replacing.
Check ventilation
Make sure the tumble dryer has adequate space around it for ventilation and is not positioned against a wall or in an enclosed space.
Restart the tumble dryer
