Help me fix my dryer

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

For most Hotpoint (Indesit) models 'F08' means 'heater relay (possibly) stuck'. 'Check power supply connections to the heater, wiring and module (i.e. PCB) connections' (apparently poor PCB connections are often the cause).

So- if you are not electrically confident and competent yourself, which you may be, you need to employ the skills of a partner, friend or service engineer ;-0)

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

hi this how it works it just to make you check it it will go out when you start the dryer

F08 means the heater relay on the main electronic module (in the back of the machine) has failed.

F08: Heater control or NTC (Thermistor) temperature sensor problem. hope this helps. also turning off at plug for 5 mins then turning back on might solve it if does not then it is the sensor problem. best thing to call engineer or get new machine if dose not work. hope this helps.

Code F08 indicates heater relay stuck.

1. Check pressure switch connections.
2. Check heater connections.
3. Check control connections.
4. Check and clean pump filter.

Please rate my sol;ution.
Thanks.

error code f08-htr relay stuck-ckeck htr not open citcuit-connections on board are clean especialy botton connecters-if still throws error then req new board

F02 and F08 are 2 completely unrelated problems.
F02 indicates motor problem, and F08 indicates a problem with the heater circuit, the relay is not energising, possibly due to a faulty heater or themistor.
Would advise you call a qualified repair technician.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

F08 is - Static heater relay with contact welded closed.
The door might had been opened with the dryer not cooled.This leads to a heat relay.

E30 indicates a motor problem, you will need to call an engineer.
Possible worn brushes which you can do if you know what you are doing.
