Tumble Dryer Showing an Error Code?
Send Us the Brand, Model and Fault Code
If your tumble dryer is showing an error code, the display is a starting point, not a complete diagnosis. Codes vary by brand and model. Send Electro Appliance Repairs the brand, model number, the exact code, what the dryer was doing and a photo of the display where useful so a technician can assess the fault in Harare.
- Error-code information accepted
- Brand and model details help booking
- Heating, drum and control checks
- Mobile technician callouts
- Harare service coverage
What Should I Do If My Tumble Dryer Shows a Code?
Tumble dryer error codes are not universal. The same-looking characters can mean different things on Samsung, LG, Defy, Bosch, AEG and other ranges. We do not publish a single code list for every manufacturer.
Send the brand, the model number from the rating label, the exact code as shown, what the dryer was doing when it appeared, and a photo of the display if you can. That information helps booking. On-site assessment still confirms the likely fault.
Information That Helps With an Error Code

Brand and model from the rating label
What the dryer was doing at the time
Whether the drum was turning or heating
Whether the code returns after a reset

What an Error Code Can Point To
A code can relate to several systems. It is a prompt for diagnosis, not a parts order.
- Heating or temperature-related condition
- Drum, drive or motor-related condition
- Sensor or control condition
- Door or safety-system condition
- Airflow or overheating condition
- Other model-specific fault
Do Not Rely on a Generic Code List
Error codes vary by brand and model. We do not invent definitions for codes we have not verified on the appliance in front of us.
A single reset may clear a temporary interruption. A repeating code should be assessed rather than repeatedly ignored.
- Brand
- Model number
- Exact code
- What the dryer was doing
- Photo of the display where useful
How Dryer Error Codes Are Assessed
A technician uses the code together with the model and the appliance behaviour — heating, tumbling, stopping or remaining dead — to inspect the relevant system.
The code is not treated as proof that one named part has failed. The repair is recommended after the dryer has been assessed.
