Hisense tumble dryer F22 error code
What F22 means on a Hisense tumble dryer
Drum motor or motor inverter fault.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
When your Hisense tumble dryer shows F22, it is reporting a fault with the drum motor or with the electronic unit that drives it. You will usually notice that the drum is not turning, or that the dryer will not start at all.
Engineers sometimes find that the drum motor itself has failed, which leaves the drum unable to turn and brings up the code.
An engineer will usually check that power is reaching the motor, test the motor itself, and test the small electrical part that helps it start. If the motor proves to be faulty, they replace it with a new one and then run the dryer on a timed cycle to make sure the drum turns and the dryer works properly. A replacement motor often has to be ordered, so the new one may be fitted at a second visit.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the tumble dryer off and unplug it, or turn it off at the isolator switch, before you touch anything. Our guide to safely isolating an appliance walks you through it.
- An error code tells you where to look, not that it's safe to take the tumble dryer apart. Don't remove panels or covers to get at the parts it points to: that's an engineer's job.
- If it involves the mains supply, sealed parts, or you're not confident at any point, stop and book a qualified engineer rather than risk injury or further damage.
