What the C2 Error Means
The C2 error code generally indicates that the condensation drain system is not operating correctly. This may prevent the dryer from completing a drying cycle.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Full water tank
The water collection tank may be full and needs emptying.
Blocked drain hose
If your dryer is connected to a permanent drain, the hose may be kinked or blocked.
Blocked condenser
The condenser may be clogged with lint or debris, restricting drainage.
Pump fault
The condensation pump may have failed or become blocked.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the pump or control module may be loose or damaged.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Empty the water tank
Remove the water collection tank and empty it fully, then refit and restart.
Check the drain hose
If connected to a permanent drain, check the hose for kinks, blockages or incorrect positioning. Shorten the hose so it hangs down freely into the drain with no loops.
Clean the condenser
Remove and rinse the condenser under running water and allow it to dry fully before replacing.
Clean the lint filter
Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly as a blocked filter can contribute to drainage issues.
Restart the tumble dryer
Turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains for several minutes before restarting.
