Tumble dryer displays error message E40

Issue

  • Tumble dryer displays error message E40

Applies to:

  • Tumble dryers

Resolution

1. Check if the door is properly closed.

Make sure that the laundry is not trapped between the appliance door and rubber seal. The cycle won't start with the door open.

2. Reset the appliance.

  • Remove the plug from the socket, wait 30 seconds and then plug it in again (The same result may be achieved by using the safety switch).
  • After plugging in the appliance, switch it on and select a program.

3. Contact an Authorized Service Center.

If the above suggestions did not solve the problem, we recommend requesting a visit by a service engineer.

Make a note of the reported error code and quote it when you request an engineer. This will not solve your problem, but it will help our engineer identify the cause of the problem.
