What the E63 Error Means
The E63 error code indicates that the auto-reset thermostat on the heater unit has triggered. This is a safety feature that activates when the dryer detects excessive heat. The dryer will disconnect power to the heater and if the fault does not reoccur the cycle may continue. If the fault persists the dryer will stop completely.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked filters
A blocked lint filter or condenser is one of the most common causes of overheating and thermostat activation.
Faulty thermostat
The auto-reset thermostat itself may have failed and may need replacing along with the heater unit.
Faulty heating element
The heating element may be running too hot due to a fault.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the thermostat or heater unit may be loose or damaged.
Electronic control board fault
The control board may not be regulating the heater correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the lint filter
Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly. A blocked filter is the most common cause of overheating faults.
Clean the condenser

Check ventilation
Make sure the tumble dryer has adequate space around it for ventilation and is not positioned against a wall or in an enclosed space.
