7 common Bloomberg dryer problems
Blomberg tumble dryers are considered high-quality and durable appliances. However, like any electrical appliance, they can break down. According to the Blomberg team of technicians, Marom Service, Bloomberg's official service provider in Israel, reports that approximately 90% of faults in Bloomberg dryers are related to three main components: the heating element, the belt, and the thermostat.
Understanding common faults and their origins will help you diagnose simple problems yourself and know when professional intervention is really required.
Bloomberg Dryer Error Code Table - Decoding and Solutions
Bloomberg dryers are equipped with an intelligent diagnostic system that displays error codes on the control panel. Below are the most common codes:
| Error code | meaning | Recommended solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air 01 | The dryer door was opened during operation. | Close the door and restart. If it happens again - check the door lock. |
| Air 02 | Flood switch malfunction (water leak) | Check for water leaks, clean the condensation tank, check the drain hose |
| Air 04 | Temperature sensor exceeded 60°C | Wait 5 minutes for it to cool down and turn it back on. If it happens again - the thermistor is faulty. |
| Air 08 | Drying cycle too long | Clean the filters and condenser. There may be a problem with the heat pump. |
| Air 09 | Low voltage (below 165V) | Check the electrical connection and the home electrical panel. |
| Air 16 | Door thermistor fault (open circuit) | The thermistor needs to be checked and replaced by a technician. |
| Air 17 | Compressor thermistor malfunction | A professional inspection of the heating system is required. |
| Er 18/19 | Short circuit in thermistor | Have the defective thermistor replaced by a qualified technician. |
Bloomberg dryer not heating - causes and solutions
The most common complaint that comes to a dryer technician is "the dryer won't heat." You put in wet laundry, turn on the dryer, and an hour later the clothes are still damp and cold. Here are the main reasons:
1. Defective heating element
The heating element is responsible for generating heat in the dryer. When it burns out or is damaged, the dryer simply will not heat. This is the most common reason (about 70% of cases). Suspicious signs: The dryer is running but the air is completely cold, or there is a burning smell.
the solution: In the event of a faulty heating element, replacement by a qualified technician is required. Can be purchased Original heating element for Bloomberg dryer Directly from the website Marom Service.
2. Faulty thermostat
The thermostat controls the drying temperature. When it is faulty, it may "think" that the dryer is too hot and turn off the heating element. In this case, the dryer will spin but not heat.
3. Clogged filter
A filter full of hair and lint is blocking the airflow. As a result, the dryer overheats and the safety system turns off the heating. This is a case that you can solve yourself.
In a condenser dryer: If cleaning the filters does not solve the problem, the condensate pump may be faulty. You can purchase a genuine condensate pump for a Bloomberg dryer that includes installation by a qualified technician.

The drum in the Bloomberg dryer is not turning - what should I do?
When the drum does not rotate, the laundry remains in one pile and does not dry. There are two main reasons for this malfunction:
Torn or loose drive belt
The belt transfers the motion from the motor to the drum. When you put in too much wet laundry, the heavy load can tear the belt or cause it to slip off the pulley. A telltale sign: You hear the motor running but the drum doesn't move.

Engine malfunction
In rarer cases, the motor itself burns out. This is a more expensive fault that is sometimes not worth repairing in older clothes dryers.
Bloomberg dryer makes noises - diagnosis by type of noise
Unusual noises in your dryer indicate a developing problem. Early detection can save you from an expensive repair:
Friction or rubbing noise: Usually indicates a foreign object (coin, button) stuck in the drum or between the drum and the wall. Turn off the dryer and check the drum.
Rhythmic clicking noise: May indicate a loose belt hitting a pulley, or a worn bearing.
Sharp beeping noise: Possible problem with the drum shaft or the idler wheels.
Roaring or groaning noise: The motor is straining - there may be an overload or a capacitor fault.
Proper maintenance to prevent Bloomberg dryer malfunctions
Regular maintenance extends the life of your dryer and prevents most problems. Here is a list of essential tasks:
After each use: Clean the hair/lint filter in the dryer inlet. Lint buildup impairs drying efficiency and may cause overheating.
Once every two weeks (in a condenser dryer): Wash the condenser with lukewarm water and remove scale and fiber deposits.
Once a month: Empty the water tank (in a condenser dryer) even if it is connected to the drain.
Once a year: Call a technician to check the ventilation system, belt, and motor.

There are situations that require professional intervention and you should not try to fix it yourself:
• The dryer is shorting out electricity in the house
• Error code returns even after reset
• A burning or smoky smell
• The dryer does not turn on at all
• Water leaking from under the device
• The drum does not rotate even though the motor is running.
