Full Tank Alarm

E 3

The error condition is detected if the pressure switch goes on the “FULL” and remains in that condition for at

least 10”.

The tank is full of water from condensation and has to be emptied.

Drying Cycle is halted.

Delicates LED blinks at 1 Hz. Display visualizes “E 3”.

Empty the tank, check the pressure switch and related wiring harness.

Detecting Condition

Possible Malfunction

Machine Behavior

Recommended Intervention

Thermal Fuse Intervention

E 8

The control has to detect N as a heater feedback. If L is detected for more than 20 minutes, it means the thermal fuse is open.

Rear temperature is grown over the thermal fuse threshold (206° C)

Non Blocking Error, Dryer makes a Cool Down sequence and displays the error condition with 1 Hz LEDs

blinking. Display shows “E 8”.

Change the thermal fuse and check mechanical circuit (something occludes the

circuit), check the Wiring.

Thermal Cut-Out Alarm (automatic reset).

E 9

Control has to detect N as a heater feedback. If it detects L and then N within 20 sec., this means there was a TOC

intervention.

The Thermal Cut-Out switched off the heater, due to a temporary overheating.

The Error is not displayed, but only saved in Data Flash. The Dryer switches to Reduced Power.

Check the conditions of the Heater and of the related wiring, the filter cleanliness and the installation.

Missing Load

E 10

During the Heat Stroke Phase (automatic cycles) the temperature increases over 80° C.

The Dryer is working empty, without any laundry load.

The Error is not displayed, but only saved in Data Flash. The cycle goes on with a Cool Down sequence and is

ended.

Correctly load the Dryer.

Rear NTC Error (only Condenser Dryers)

E 14

The Rear NTC is short circuited or open circuited, or has an incorrect resistive value (out of the range - 14° C – 95° C) for

more than 15 sec.

Rear NTC not connected or damaged.

Drying Cycle is halted. All LEDs blink together (generic error condition).

The Display shows “E 14”

Check Rear NTC and the related Wiring Harness.

Heater Relay glued contacts (Front Thermal Fuse for Vented machine)

E 15

When the Heater relay is opened, the control must detect L through heater feedback. If it detects N for more than 8 sec., relay is glued.

The heater relay could have glued contacts or, if the machine Vented the Front Thermal Fuse is

opened.

Drying Cycle is halted. All LEDs blink together (generic error condition).

The Display shows “E 15”.

Replace the Power Card.
