Hoover tumble-dryer X2 error code
X2 means heater circuit fault. The heater circuit is open or has tripped — the drum turns but clothes stay damp..
Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware
Safe checks, in order of likelihood
- Clean the filter and condenser — restricted airflow trips the heater.
- Check the room temperature is within 5–30°C.
- Power-cycle and run a short program; if X2 returns, the heater is at fault.
Call a professional when…
Clean first; then the heater element or thermostats are replaced. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
