Bush Tumble Dryer Error Codes
If your Bush tumble dryer is displaying an error code, the appliance has detected a problem and stopped the cycle as a precaution. Understanding what these codes mean can help you identify whether the issue is something you can resolve yourself — such as emptying the water tank or cleaning the filters — or whether professional assistance is required.
Before checking any error code, always clean the lint filter first. The lint filter must be cleaned after every single drying cycle. A blocked filter is the most common cause of faults on Bush condenser tumble dryers. Error codes may vary between models — always consult your user manual for model-specific information.
Try This First (Quick Reset)
* Clean the lint filter
* Empty the water tank
