What the E70 Error Means
The E70 error code indicates that the NTC temperature sensor is not operating correctly. This may cause the dryer to overheat, fail to heat up, or stop mid cycle. AEG recommend unplugging the appliance for 2 hours to reset the control electronics before contacting an engineer.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty NTC temperature sensor
The NTC sensor may have failed and is sending incorrect temperature readings to the control board.
Blocked filters
A blocked lint filter or condenser can cause the dryer to overheat, triggering the temperature sensor fault.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the temperature sensor or control module may be loose or damaged.
Electronic control board fault
The control board may not be reading the sensor signal correctly.
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 temperature related 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
Unplug the appliance for at least 2 hours to allow the control electronics to fully reset, then plug back in and restart.
