What the E08 Error Means
The E08 error code indicates that a sensor within the tumble dryer is not operating correctly. Sensors in a tumble dryer monitor temperature, moisture levels and airflow to ensure the appliance runs safely and efficiently. A fault with any of these sensors can cause the machine to stop and display this error.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty temperature sensor
The temperature sensor monitors heat levels inside the drum. If it fails or gives inaccurate readings, the machine cannot regulate temperature safely and will stop.
Faulty moisture sensor
Moisture sensors detect when laundry is dry. If they are coated with fabric softener residue or have failed, they may give incorrect readings.
Blocked lint filter or condenser
Heavy lint build-up can affect airflow and temperature to the point where sensors report abnormal readings.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection to one of the sensors can cause the control board to register a fault.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the lint filter
Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter. A blocked filter can affect airflow and temperature readings throughout the machine.
Clean the moisture sensors
The moisture sensor bars are usually located inside the drum. Wipe them gently with a soft cloth dampened with a little white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to remove any fabric softener residue.
Clean the condenser unit
If your model has a condenser, remove and rinse it under running water to clear any blockage.
Restart the tumble dryer
Turn the appliance off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
