Error code

HC

Meaning

Your dryer isn't heating properly or is overheating

Critical

What to do

Why this happens

Compressor overheating may result from restricted airflow due to a clogged or dirty condenser, abnormal readings from Thermistor 2, or fan motor failure reducing airflow over the condenser.

How to fix it

Clean out the exhaust vent from the dryer to the outside wall. If the vent is clear and the error continues, the heating element or related safety switch may need replacing — call a technician.
