Troubleshooting and error codes
| Error Code | Error | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| E 10 | Communication failure. - EEPROM | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If the error persists, replace the control board. | |
| E 11 | Communication failure. Checksum | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If the error persists, replace the control board. | |
| E 12 | Communication failure. - Memory | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If the error persists, replace the control board. | |
| E 24 | Shorted control thermistor. | Remove wires from the control thermistor. Measure resistance of the thermistor. If the reading is not 50K (+/-10%), replace thermistor. If the reading is within 50K (+/-10%) check wiring between thermistor and electronic control. If good, replace electronic control. | |
| E 25 | Open control thermistor. | Remove wires from the control thermistor. Measure resistance of the thermistor. If the reading is not 50K (+/-10%), replace thermistor. If the reading is within 50K (+/-10%) check wiring between thermistor and electronic control. If good, replace electronic control. | |
| E4A | The drying time has exceeded program time for that cycle. | Lint filter blocked. Ventilation system clogged. Dryer overloaded. | 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 any thing 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. |
| E 5B | No heat. | Refer to flow chart "dryer not heating properly." | |
| E 68 | 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 key and perform the test again. If button is free but the key stuck code still exists, replace electronic control. | |
| E 8C | High limit thermostat has tripped too many times in a certain amount of 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. | |
| E AF | Microcontroller has been reset by internal Watchdog timer. | Clear code, exit mode and start dryer. If problem persists, replace electronic control. |
