What the E18 Error Means
The E18 error code generally indicates that the tumble dryer has detected a problem with the drying cycle control or internal sensor monitoring the drying process.
The appliance relies on several sensors to ensure clothes are drying correctly and safely. If abnormal readings are detected or the cycle cannot complete correctly, the control system may stop the programme and trigger the error code.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Restricted airflow
Lint buildup in filters or ventilation channels can affect drying performance and cause abnormal temperature or airflow readings.
Blocked condenser
In condenser dryers, lint accumulation inside the condenser can reduce airflow and interfere with the drying process.
Moisture sensor issue
The moisture sensor used to detect when clothes are dry may not be operating correctly.
Control board communication issue
The electronic control board may detect an internal monitoring fault during the drying cycle.

Before contacting a technician, there are several checks you can safely perform.
