What the E08 Error Code Means
The E08 error code indicates that there may be a voltage fluctuation in the mains supply. The official Lamona manual advises waiting until the voltage is within an appropriate range before attempting to operate the appliance again. Voltage fluctuations can be caused by power cuts, surges, or temporary supply issues from the grid. The dryer stops automatically to protect its internal electronics from damage.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Power cut or supply interruption
A recent power cut or interruption to the household electricity supply can cause E08 to appear when the power returns.
Voltage surge or spike
A sudden surge in the mains voltage — for example following a power cut — can trigger E08 as a protective measure.
Extension lead or adaptor in use
Connecting the dryer via an extension lead or multi-socket adaptor can cause voltage drops that trigger E08. The appliance should always be connected directly to a mains wall socket.
Fault with the mains socket
A worn or damaged mains socket can cause an inconsistent supply that triggers the error.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Wait for the supply to stabilise
If there has been a power cut or known voltage issue, wait 10 to 15 minutes before attempting to restart the dryer.
Check the mains connection
Ensure the dryer is plugged directly into a mains wall socket and not into an extension lead or multi-socket adaptor.
Check the plug and socket
Inspect the plug for any signs of damage or overheating. Try the appliance in a different socket if possible.
Reset the machine
Unplug the appliance from the mains socket and wait at least two minutes. Plug back in and retry the cycle.

When To Contact A Professional
If E08 persists after waiting for the supply to stabilise and checking the mains connection, there may be a fault with the household wiring or the appliance’s internal power circuit. A qualified electrician should check the supply and a qualified engineer should inspect the appliance. Internal components should only be inspected or repaired by trained professionals.
