Quick answer: Only Solt heat pump dryers (GGSHPD800W, GGSHPD80W, GGSHPD100W, GGSHPD70) and the GGSCD70 condenser have displays that show real error codes — and the documented set is small: E32 (humidity sensor) and E33 (temperature sensor) on all of them, E64 and E82 (motor and board communication) on the GGSHPD80W/100W, FUL (water container) on the GGSHPD800W and E30 (heater) on the condenser. Vented Solt dryers show no codes at all — they flash their LEDs in patterns instead. Whatever you’re seeing, start the same way: empty the tank, clean the lint filter, switch off at the wall for 15 minutes, restart.

Which Solt dryers show error codes
Solt is an Australian house brand, and owners hit the same wall with all house brands: the fault shows up, and there’s barely any repair content to search. Here’s the honest map of what each family can actually display:
- Heat pump models with a display — GGSHPD800W (current 8kg), GGSHPD80W (earlier 8kg), GGSHPD100W (10kg) and GGSHPD70 (7kg). These show genuine E-codes on the time display. How the heat pump technology itself fails — compressor, sealed circuit, drain path — is covered brand-neutrally in our heat pump dryer error codes guide.
- GGSCD70 condenser — white LED display, three documented codes (E30, E32, E33).
- GGSVD7 vented (7kg) — no numeric display. The manual names E1, E2 and E3, but the machine shows them by flashing dryness-level LEDs.
- GGSVD8W / GGSVD8B vented (8kg, current) — no codes at all: the LED ring flashes in patterns (decoded below).
- GGSVDE45W (4.5kg, dial-only) — no display, and its manual documents zero error codes. If someone sells you an “E-code list” for this model, it’s invented. Faults on it are diagnosed by symptom, not code.
One more honesty note: you may find generic E3 / E5 / EHE code lists online attributed to machines like these. None of those codes appear in any Solt manual — the table below is the complete documented set.
Solt dryer error codes at a glance
| Code / lights | Models | What it means | What to check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| E32 | All heat pump models | Humidity (dryness) sensor error | Clean lint filters, power off 15 minutes; returns = technician |
| E33 | All heat pump models + GGSCD70 | Temperature sensor error | Power off 15 minutes, restart once; persistent = technician |
| E64 | GGSHPD80W, GGSHPD100W | Motor communication error | Power-cycle once; returns = technician |
| E82 | GGSHPD80W, GGSHPD100W | Control board communication error | Power-cycle once; returns = technician |
| FUL | GGSHPD800W | Water container full — or the pump / level sensor can’t clear it | Empty the container and restart; still lit = service |
| E30 | GGSCD70 | Heater failure | Power-cycle once; persistent = technician |
| E1 — Light dryness LED flashes | GGSVD7 | Dryer internally too hot | Unplug, reduce load, clean lint filter, check ventilation |
| E2 — Light + Standard LEDs flash | GGSVD7 | Temperature sensor error | Unplug 15 minutes, retry; persistent = technician |
| E3 — Extra dryness LED flashes | GGSVD7 | Temperature sensor error | Same 15-minute unplug reset; persistent = technician |
| Four corner LEDs flashing | GGSVD8W/8B | Power board / display board not communicating | Power-cycle; persistent = technician |
| Left half-circle flashing | GGSVD8W/8B | Temperature sensor abnormal | Power-cycle; persistent = technician |
| Right half-circle flashing | GGSVD8W/8B | Over-temperature warning | Let it cool, clean the filter, check airflow, reduce the load |
| ALL LEDs flashing | GGSVD8W/8B | Door not closed properly | Re-close the door firmly; repeated = check the door hook and latch |
E32 and E33: the sensor codes on heat pump models
E32 (humidity sensor) and E33 (temperature sensor) are the two codes every display-model Solt can show, and both feed the auto-dry programs. The manuals route both to the support line, but the free checks clear a surprising share of them. Switch off at the power point before going further.
- Clean the lint filter properly, and on heat pump models the lower filter in front of the heat exchanger too — sensor “failures” are often a machine that can’t breathe.
- Leave it off at the wall for 15 minutes so the boards fully reset, then run a short cycle.
- If the code returns, book a technician. The sensors aren’t sold as user-fit parts for these models, and the boards behind E64/E82 aren’t either.
FUL on the GGSHPD800W is friendlier: empty the water container, reseat it, restart. The manual’s own escalation is worth repeating — if FUL stays lit after the container is empty and reseated, the water pump or its level sensor has failed, and that’s a service visit.
ALL LEDs flashing on a GGSVD8: it’s the door
The current 8kg vented pair reports “door not closed properly” by flashing every LED at once, which looks far more dramatic than it is. Close the door with a firm push until it clicks. If it keeps happening — or the door has started drifting open mid-cycle — the plastic door hook wears before the machine does. On the older 7kg platform we stock the door hook and door lock that fit the GGSCD70 and 8kg heat pump family, and the heat pump GGSHPD800W door switch for the machine that won’t start at all with a healthy-looking door. A dryer that’s dead with no lights is more often a door switch than a board.
E1 on the GGSVD7: overheating, and what it wears out
E1 — the Light dryness LED flashing — means the vented GGSVD7 got too hot inside. The manual’s causes are the real ones: overloading, a blocked lint filter, or blocked ventilation. Unplug it, let it cool with the door open, halve the load, clean the filter, and make sure the exhaust actually has somewhere to go — a vented dryer in a sealed laundry cupboard will trip this every winter weekend. If drying was already slow before the code, run our dryer takes too long to dry checks.
Repeated overheating is also what kills the mechanical bits. For the GGSVD7 we stock the drum belt, the drum bearing kit for the rumble that comes before a seized drum, and the door hinge. A drum that won’t turn while the motor hums is the belt, not the electronics — our dryer belt replacement guide covers the method, and none of these swaps go anywhere near the sealed side of the machine.
GGSVDE45W: no codes — diagnose it by symptom
The little 4.5kg dial model predates fault displays entirely: its manual’s troubleshooting is symptom-based, and no error codes exist for it. That’s not a gap in your machine — it’s how it was built. The two failures we actually see: it tumbles but blows cold (heating element — we stock the GGSVDE45W heating element, a job for a confident DIYer with the machine unplugged, or any technician in one visit), and it hums without tumbling (the fan belt). If you’re not sure which model you even have, the Solt dryer parts finder walks the whole range.
Lights that aren’t faults
- Water container icon flashing mid-cycle (GGSHPD70, GGSCD70) — the program has paused for a full tank. Empty it, press Start/Pause, and it resumes.
- Clean filters warning (heat pump models) — routine reminder, not a fault.
- 00:00 with the buzzer (GGSHPD800W) — end of cycle.
- Child lock indicator — the panel is locked, not broken.
Find the exact part for your model
Solt model codes all start with GGS, and the full code is on the model sticker — usually around the door opening or on the rear panel. Our find your model page shows where to look, and the no-model-sticker guide covers a machine with the sticker worn off. Code in hand, the Part Finder quiz matches the right part in under a minute, the Solt parts finder maps the range model by model, or browse the full dryer parts range. For a drum that grinds or squeals on the GGSCD70 / GGSHPD70 / GGSHPD800W family, the drum support wheel assembly is the usual wear part.
FAQ
What does E32 mean on a Solt heat pump dryer?
Humidity sensor error — the sensor that tells the auto-dry programs how wet the load is has gone out of range. Clean the filters, power off at the wall for 15 minutes and restart; if E32 returns, it’s a service repair, not a user-fit part.
My Solt vented dryer is flashing all its lights. Is it broken?
On the GGSVD8W/GGSVD8B that pattern just means the door isn’t detected as closed. Shut it firmly until it clicks. If it recurs, inspect the door hook for wear — on the older Solt platforms the hook and lock are stocked parts and a five-minute fit.
Is there an error-code list for the Solt GGSVDE45W?
No — and any list claiming otherwise is invented. The GGSVDE45W is a dial-timer machine with no display; its official manual troubleshoots by symptom only. Cold air = heating element, humming without tumbling = fan belt, and both are stocked parts.
What is FUL on a Solt dryer?
On the GGSHPD800W it means the water container is full: empty it, push it fully home and restart. If FUL stays lit with an empty container, the manual’s second meaning applies — the condensate pump or its level sensor has failed, which is a technician job.
Why did my Solt dryer stop with E33 on a freezing morning?
E33 is the temperature sensor out of range, and cold rooms make marginal sensors trip. Give it 15 minutes off at the wall in a slightly warmer laundry and restart. A one-off in a cold snap isn’t alarming; the same code every cycle means the sensor really is failing — book the repair rather than working around it.
