ASKO Dryer Error Code Clean condenser

It means the dryer has reached the cleaning interval set in its service menu and is prompting you to clean the condenser/evaporator unit and the lint filter. This is a scheduled maintenance reminder, not an indication that a component has failed. Performing the cleaning and resetting the counter through the service menu will clear the message.

Continuing to run the dryer while the condenser and filter are heavily clogged can reduce drying efficiency and cause the unit to run hotter than normal. In extended cases of restricted airflow, thermal protection systems may activate and shut the dryer down. It is best to perform the cleaning promptly after the reminder appears.

If the issue is simply routine cleaning, the cost is minimal, typically limited to your time and no replacement parts. If you need a technician to perform the cleaning and reset the service menu counter, you can expect to pay a standard service call fee, generally in the range of $75 to $150 depending on your location and provider. No parts are typically needed for this maintenance procedure.

Remove and rinse the lint filter, then clean the condenser/evaporator fins and check all other air passages for lint or debris blockages. Once all cleaning is complete, the maintenance counter needs to be reset through the dryer's service menu, which typically requires a technician or knowledge of the service menu access procedure. Simply cleaning without resetting the counter will not clear the reminder.

A standard power reset will not clear this message because it is tied to an interval counter in the service menu, not a triggered fault. The counter must be reset through the service menu after the cleaning is completed. If the counter is not reset, the message will continue to display.
