Error codeE6
ApplianceDryer
Two labels for one code
The error table treats E6 in two ways. The display reads relay failure, while the TD86 manual files the same fault as a control unit failure. Both the TD85.11XX and the TD86 are current series.
What to do about it
Open the full message: INFO on the TD85.11XX, a long press of OK on the TD86.
Turn the dryer off and on again.
The one action listed beside E6 is a technician visit.
Neighbours in the control unit group
E7 is a door failure and E8 is a button failure. E4 also counts as a control unit failure but adds a request to clean the filters.
Where to call for dryer service in San Francisco
San Francisco and Bay Area owners can reach a technician on (415) 993-3547. Tell us the exact code and the dryer model. Our Asko dryer repair page gives context.
Model compatibility: Asko reuses codes across series and model years, so E6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
E6 is a relay failure, classed as a control unit failure in the TD86 manual.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, water lines, sealed cooling systems or anything behind a panel. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
