AEG dryer E60: heating fault
Risk level
High
Professional inspection is recommended.
Urgency
Immediate
Quick answer
E60 means the dryer has a heating problem and may not be heating correctly. Preserve the full display and model, then use room size/ventilation, filter and condenser cleanliness, heat result and any overheating sign to choose the next branch before any part or paid repair.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.
Safe checks you can perform
- Capture the decision evidence
- Run the one discriminating check
- Stop at the result boundary

What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Evidence-led AEG handoff for E60
What they doA qualified technician should test airflow maintenance, room ventilation, heater/heat pump, temperature sensing or control, using the exact model/PNC and the recorded result for room size/ventilation, filter and condenser cleanliness, heat result and any overheating sign.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

Capture the decision evidence
No special tools
Procedure
Photograph E60, the complete message and model/PNC. Record the failed programme stage and room size/ventilation, filter and condenser cleanliness, heat result and any overheating sign. Do not clear the history repeatedly.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.

Run the one discriminating check
No special tools
Procedure
Clean the user filters and condenser exactly as the manual allows and ensure the dryer is not sealed in an unventilated cabinet or tiny closed room. Stop immediately for excessive heat or smell.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.

Stop at the result boundary
No special tools
Procedure
Dirty airflow or poor room ventilation is an external thermal load. Clean airflow with E60 returning selects heater/heat-pump, sensor or control diagnosis; repeated heated cycles are unsafe evidence. If the same result returns after this one controlled pass, stop rather than chaining resets or cycles.
Stop immediately for water near electricity, smoke, burning smell, abnormal heat, damaged cable or repeated breaker trips. Close the water tap when a leak is possible; sealed water, heat and mains circuits are professional-only.
