Error Code Troubleshooting: Access Field Test Mode by holding 'Select' and 'Cancel' for 6 seconds, then rotating the cycle knob. This allows viewing error codes. Rotate the knob further to cycle through codes. To clear a code, press 'Select'. Press 'Options' to advance to the next code. Exit by holding 'Select' and 'Cancel' for 6 seconds. The chart provides error codes, descriptions, and solutions, often involving checking thermistors, wiring, or replacing the electronic control.
Function Test Sequence: Access by holding 'Select' and 'Cancel' for 6 seconds, then rotating the cycle knob 5 turns counter-clockwise and holding 'Options' and 'Cancel' for 2 seconds. Rotate the knob clockwise to test different functions: motor and heat, cool down, moisture sensor readings, key tests, and thermistor readings. Exit by holding 'Select' and 'Cancel' for 6 seconds.

Troubleshooting and error codes
| Error Code | Label | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| E10 | General EEPROM Fault | Problem with communication between EEPROM and the microprocessor. | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If problem persists, replace electronic control. |
| E11 | Checksum Error | Problem with communications or memory did not check, one has become corrupted. | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If problem persists, replace electronic control. |
| E12 | Non fatal R/W error | Problem reading or writing to the memory or input/output. | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If problem persists, replace electronic control. |
| E24 | Control NTC Short Circuit | Control thermistor or its wiring is shorted. | Remove wires from control thermistor. Measure resistance of thermistor. If reading is not 50 K (± 10%), replace thermistor. If reading is within 50 K (± 10%), check wiring between thermistor and electronic control. If good, replace electronic control. |
| E25 | Control NTC Open Circuit | Control thermistor or its wiring is open. | Remove wires from control thermistor. Measure resistance of thermistor. If reading is not 50 K (± 10%), replace thermistor. If reading is within 50 K (± 10%), check wiring between thermistor and electronic control. If good, replace electronic control. |
| E4A | Program Timeout Fault | The drying time has exceeded program time for that cycle. | Press Pause Cancel and SELECT buttons for 6 seconds to exit test modes. Position cycle selector to NORMAL, temperature selector to HIGH HEAT and touch START. Check for anything that would extend dry times such as: no heat, restricted vent, blower fan blade broken or loose, dryer installed in closet with solid door, or bad connection in moisture sensor bar circuit or dirty bars. If dryer operates normally but code returns, replace electronic control. |
| E5B | Heater Fault (no heating) | Temperature reading of control thermistor has not changed in a certain amount of time. | Position cycle selector to NORMAL, temperature selector to HIGH HEAT and touch START. Measure voltage across terminals on relay RL2 (heater relay) on electronic control. If meter reads 240V on electric models and 120V on gas models, replace electronic control. If meter reads zero, remove power from dryer. Disconnect wire going to NO terminal on the relay RL2. Reconnect power and measure voltage drop between terminal COM on relay RL2 and neutral. If meter reads zero, wire between incoming line and relay RL2 is open. If meter reads 120V, check the rest of the heater circuit. |
| E68 | Key (button) Struck Fault | One of the keys (buttons) is stuck closed (active). | Enter function test mode and perform key (button) test to determine which button is at fault. Carefully free the and perform the test again. If button is free but the key struck code still exists, replace electronic control. |
| E8C | Too many trips in a period of time. | The safety (high limit) thermostat has tripped too many times within a certain period of program time. | Check for blocked lint filter, blocked exhaust, air leaks around air duct, broken blower fan blades, worn or loose drum seals, dryer installed in closet with solid doors or door seal not correctly seated. |
| EAF | Watch Dog Reset | Microcontroller has been reset by internal Watchdog timer. | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If problem persists, replace electronic control. |
