Below are the usual causes and the fix for each, based on what our Red Seal certified technicians find on this fault across Calgary.

What Causes It

There's a short list of things that typically cause this, and a technician works through them in order:

• Partially clogged lint screen reducing airflow
• Blocked or kinked exhaust duct
• Failed blower wheel
• Worn belt reducing drum speed
• Exhaust duct crushed behind dryer

How We Fix It

Once the cause is confirmed, the repair is normally:
