Why isn't your Beko heat pump dryer heating? Common causes and how to fix it at home

It's frustrating to start a drying cycle and discover that your Beko dryer, although working, barely generates any heat—if at all—or heats up but doesn't dry properly. This problem, especially with condensing models, usually has relatively simple solutions if you know where to start. Below, we'll detail the most common causes, how to check each one, and what replacement parts you can find at Electrotodo to get back to efficient heating and optimal drying.

1. Main reasons for lack of heat in Beko dryers

1.1 Obstruction of filters or ventilation

Insufficient airflow—due to lint buildup in filters, the condenser, or ducts—impedes effective heating, causing overheating or drying failure.

Solution: Clean the lint filter after each cycle, and remove it to clean the condenser. If it's damaged, you can easily replace it at Electrotodo .


1.2 Thermal fuse blown or safety fuse activated

As a preventative measure, a thermal fuse or integrated thermal devices can interrupt the heating circuit if they detect excess temperature.

Solution: Check these elements (sometimes accessible after disassembling the back) and reset or replace any that are broken or stuck.


1.3 Defective heating element

The heating element of your Beko dryer may be faulty due to continued use of the appliance.

Solution: Check with a multimeter and if there is no continuity, replace it with a new one available in the corresponding Electrode section .


1.4 Faulty thermostat(s)

If the main or cycle thermostat is not regulating properly, there may be no heating or the dryer may overheat and shut down to prevent further damage.

Solution: Check both with a multimeter. If they fail, replace them with compatible spares from Electrotodo. Sometimes the thermostat set is sold together with the resistor.


1.5 Problems with the electronic board or sensors (NTC)

Error codes or faulty sensors (such as the compressor's NTC) can interrupt the heating process.

Solution: If the problem persists after checking the above, check the sensors and, if necessary, replace them at Electrotodo. As a last resort, consider replacing the control board. We recommend that this repair be performed by a qualified technician. Consult a technical service center.

2. Maintenance tips to avoid this type of failure

  • Clean the lint filter after each use. Replace with a new one if damaged.
  • Disassemble and clean the condenser regularly to maintain good air circulation.
  • Avoid overloading the dryer; this can impede the flow of hot air and cause buildup.
  • Ensures unobstructed installation of ventilation and ducts.
