Asko Dryer Error Code F18

⚠️

Problems You May Notice

• Dryer runs but produces little to no heat • Clothes remain wet or damp after a complete cycle • Dryer cycles may stop prematurely • Error code F18 displays on the control panel • Dryer makes normal operational sounds but fails to warm up • Extended drying times that don't resolve the dampness issue

🔧

Possible Causes

• Faulty heating element that no longer generates heat • Defective thermal sensor or thermistor reading incorrect temperatures • Broken high-limit thermostat preventing proper temperature regulation • Damaged heating circuit board or wiring connections • Clogged vent system causing safety shut-off of heating element • Malfunctioning door latch switch triggering safety mode • Thermal fuse blown due to airflow restriction • Control board malfunction preventing power to heating components

✅

Safety Checks You Can Do

• Empty the lint filter completely and rinse it with warm water to remove residue buildup • Inspect the external vent hood for blockages, debris, or bird nests restricting airflow • Check the entire vent hose from dryer to wall outlet for kinks, crushing, or lint accumulation • Verify the dryer door closes completely and the latch engages without forcing • Confirm you're selecting appropriate heat settings (avoid using Auto Dry if available) • Ensure the room where the dryer is located has adequate ventilation and airflow • Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the control board • Run a test cycle on a towel load to confirm whether heat is produced after reset • Do NOT attempt to disassemble the dryer or access internal heating elements yourself
