# Asko heat pump dryer repair

### Everything ordinary is eliminated before the sealed circuit

A heat pump dryer is a refrigeration circuit as well as a dryer, which makes it cheaper to run and considerably more expensive to be wrong about — a compressor is not a heating element. So the order of work is strict: filters, condenser, airflow, sensors and thermostats first, then the evaporator behind the plinth, which collects lint invisibly and starves the circuit and which on a machine that has never had it cleared is frequently the entire repair. Only when all of that is proved clear is the sealed side read, and if it really has failed we give the arithmetic against the machine first.

What this involves

Sealed circuit last, always — the ordinary causes look identical from outside

Its own code scheme: ERROR_0 to ERROR_5, not the older L or F numbers

The evaporator behind the plinth needs clearing, and almost nobody knows it is there

Eliminate the ordinary first

Filters, condenser, airflow, sensors and thermostats — the entire cheap list, proved rather than assumed, before anything refrigeration-side is discussed.

Clear the evaporator

The fins behind the plinth, which collect lint invisibly and starve the circuit. On a machine that has never had this done it is frequently the whole repair.

Read the circuit properly

Compressor behavior, temperatures across the circuit and current draw. If it really is the sealed side we say what that costs against the machine before touching it.

### How do I know I have a heat pump machine?

The model sticker inside the door frame. On this badge the heat pump models carry an H in the code and the vented ones a V, and the difference matters because a heat pump machine has no heating element at all.

### Is it worth repairing the sealed circuit?

Sometimes, and it depends on the age and what else is worn. We put the figure against the machine before touching it rather than after, because this is the one dryer repair where that conversation is worth having properly.
