What to do when E3 shows on the dryerKind of codeWater system (ventless)
On a ventless dryer, the water it pulls from the load is not reaching the container or the drain — a full tank, a blocked condenser or a pump that is not running.
Usually leads toVentless condenser and pump repair
Heat-pump and condenser dryers that leak, stop with a full-tank warning or take hours, repaired at the exchanger, pump and filters.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for E3 on its dryers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Empty the condensate tank so no water overflows.
Switch off, wait a minute, switch on and try the program once more.
Book a visit if E3 comes back.

Stackable dryer
The dryer half of a stacked pair or a single-frame laundry center, where the height and the closet decide how the repair is done.
Ventless dryer
Heat-pump and condenser dryers, including 24-inch compacts, that take the water out of the air instead of blowing it outside.
