It can be a major inconvenience in your day when you go to throw your children’s school uniform or your work clothes into the tumble dryer on a Sunday evening or Monday morning and it stops working. At Capital Repairs, we’ve put almost 50 years experience in fixing Candy appliances into this error code guide – updated for 2025.
Candy by Hoover provides great stylish and efficient home appliances including condensers and vented tumble dryers. However, like any modern electrical appliance, it can malfunction. Thankfully, Candy dryers will tell you the nature of the fault in error codes. The majority of Candy dryers will flash to signal the error code. To ‘read’ the error code you will need to count the number of flashes in between pauses. For example, five flashes equal error code E5.
