Hisense washer dryer F08 error code
What F08 means on a Hisense washer dryer
Motor over-current fault.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
When a Hisense washer dryer shows F08, it is reporting a motor over-current fault. In other words, the motor is drawing more current than it should. You will usually notice it because the machine will not spin, and the code may come back each time you try a programme.
Engineers sometimes find that the motor itself has seized, so the drum does not turn freely, and that the motor needs replacing along with the circuit board that controls it.
An engineer will typically check how the motor behaves when it is connected to its control board and whether the drum turns as it should. Where the motor has seized, the usual repair is to replace the motor together with its control board, then test the machine to make sure it is working properly again. These parts may need to be ordered, so the repair can mean a second visit to fit them. Until then, it is best to stop using the machine and not try to force the drum round.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the washer 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 washer 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.
