What the E06 Error Code Means
The E06 error code indicates that the dryer has detected restricted airflow, most commonly caused by a blocked lint filter or condenser. When airflow is restricted the machine cannot dry efficiently, temperatures can rise abnormally, and the dryer will stop to protect itself. Regular cleaning of the lint filter and condenser is the most effective way to prevent E06 from appearing.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked lint filter
The most common cause. The lint filter collects fluff from every drying cycle and must be cleaned after every single use. Even a partially blocked filter can significantly restrict airflow.
Blocked condenser
The condenser unit can accumulate lint and debris over time, reducing its efficiency and restricting airflow through the machine.
Full water tank
A full condensate water tank can contribute to the conditions that trigger E06. Always check and empty the tank as part of your routine checks.
Dirty humidity sensors
Build-up on the humidity sensors inside the drum can affect the machine’s ability to monitor conditions correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the lint filter
Remove the lint filter and thoroughly clear all fluff and debris. Rinse under running water if necessary and allow to dry fully before refitting. This should be done after every single cycle.
Clean the condenser
Remove the condenser drawer, rinse it thoroughly under running water, allow it to dry completely and refit it firmly into the appliance.
Empty the water tank
Pull out the condensate water tank, empty it fully and refit it firmly.
Wipe the humidity sensors
Wipe the humidity sensors on the inside of the drum with a clean damp cloth to remove any residue.
Reset the machine
Unplug the appliance, hold down the Start/Pause button for 10 seconds, wait 30 seconds, then plug back in and retry.
