Possible Causes

• Faulty thermal sensor detecting incorrect temperature readings • Heating element failure or insufficient electrical supply to heating element • Clogged lint filter restricting airflow and causing temperature sensor false readings • Blocked exhaust vent or ductwork preventing proper air circulation • Loose or corroded electrical connections to the heating assembly • Broken door latch switch preventing proper door closure detection • Power supply issues from 240V outlet not delivering full voltage • Circuit breaker tripped or partially disconnected in home electrical panel • Thermostat malfunction in the dryer's thermal control system
🛡️

Precautionary measures

• Verify the dryer is properly plugged into a grounded 240V outlet and inspect the power cord for visible damage or bent prongs • Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the breaker for the dryer is fully switched ON; reset it by switching OFF then back ON • Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely with an audible click • Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly, then rinse it under running water and allow it to dry completely before reinserting • Inspect the exhaust vent hood outside your home to confirm it opens freely and is not blocked by lint, debris, or weather covers • Check that the dryer is not overloaded; remove excess clothing and ensure items are not tightly packed • Verify you are selecting the appropriate heat setting for your load; avoid using "no heat" or "air dry" settings for items requiring heat • Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet or turn OFF the circuit breaker at your electrical panel, wait 60 seconds, then restore power to reset the appliance • Allow the dryer to cool for 30 minutes before attempting to run another cycle • If error code F10 persists after completing these steps, contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and repair the thermal sensor or heating element
