Error code F10 on Asko dryers indicates a heating element malfunction or thermal sensor failure. This error prevents the dryer from reaching or maintaining the proper drying temperature needed to complete the cycle.
• Dryer runs but produces little to no heat
• Clothes remain damp or wet after a complete cycle
• Cycle stops prematurely before drying is complete
• F10 error code displays on the dryer control panel
• Extended drying times with reduced heat output
• Dryer makes normal operational sounds but fails to warm up
• No heat detected when hand is placed near the dryer vent during operation
🔧
Possible Causes
• Faulty heating element that has burned out or lost continuity
• Defective thermal sensor or temperature probe providing incorrect readings
• Broken high-limit thermostat preventing proper temperature regulation
• Blown thermal fuse blocking power to the heating circuit
• Malfunctioning control board failing to activate the heating element
• Loose or corroded electrical connections to heating components
• Obstructed airflow reducing heat distribution efficiency
• Failed moisture sensor sending incorrect termination signals
✅
Safety Checks You Can Do
• Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly, checking for trapped debris or buildup
• Inspect the external dryer vent hood for blockages, lint accumulation, or bird nests
• Trace the entire vent hose from dryer to exterior wall for kinks, crushing, or disconnections
• Verify the dryer door closes completely and the door latch engages properly
• Confirm you are using the correct drying cycle for your load type
• Check that all dryer vents and ducting are clear of obstructions
• Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for 60 seconds, then plug back in to reset the system
• Ensure adequate spacing around the dryer to allow proper air circulation
• Run a test cycle to determine if the error code reappears after reset
