⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: DP Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Drain pump activated.
How to Fix DP Error (Step-by-Step)
- For condenser or heat pump dryers, locate the water collection tank, which is usually at the top left of the unit.
- Carefully slide the water tank out of its housing and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Carry the tank to a sink and empty all the water out.
- Slide the empty tank firmly back into its slot until it clicks into place.
- If your model drains directly into a standpipe, check the drain hose for any kinks or clogs that would prevent water from draining properly.
- Ensure the end of the drain hose is not pushed too far into the standpipe, which can create a siphon effect and prevent proper drainage.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
