What the E06 Error Code Means
E06 indicates an internal fault that the appliance cannot resolve on its own. On heat pump condenser dryers of this type, E06 typically points to a fault within the heat pump circuit or a related internal component. The heat pump system is a sealed refrigeration circuit responsible for efficiently extracting moisture from the drum during drying — it cannot be accessed or repaired by the user and must be inspected by a qualified engineer.
That said, a blocked lint filter or condenser is one of the most common triggers for error codes on Lamona tumble dryers, including codes that point toward internal faults. Always carry out the checks below before arranging a repair visit.
Checks To Carry Out Before Calling An Engineer
Clean the lint filter
Remove the lint filter and clear all fluff and debris thoroughly. The lint filter must be cleaned after every single drying cycle without exception. Even a partially blocked filter restricts airflow significantly and can cause the dryer to overheat or trigger internal fault codes.
Clean the condenser
Remove the condenser unit from its housing, rinse it thoroughly under running water to clear any lint or debris, and allow it to dry completely before refitting. The condenser should be cleaned regularly — check your user manual for the recommended frequency for your model.
Empty the water tank
Pull out the condensate water tank, empty it fully and refit it firmly until it clicks into place.
Wipe the humidity sensors
The humidity sensors are the two metal strips on the inside of the drum. Wipe them firmly with a clean damp cloth to remove any fabric softener or detergent residue, which can affect their ability to read moisture levels accurately.
Reset the machine
Unplug the appliance from the mains socket and wait at least two minutes to allow the electronics to fully discharge. Plug back in and retry the cycle.

When To Contact A Professional
If E06 persists after completing all of the checks above, the fault lies within the internal components of the appliance and will need to be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified engineer. Do not attempt to access the heat pump or sealed refrigeration circuit yourself. Internal components should only be inspected or repaired by trained professionals.
