MODEL DIFFERENCES:
• Better models have a digital readout display
• Good models do not have a digital readout display
READING ERROR CODES
1. Position cycle selector knob to the 3 O’clock position.
2. Press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for six seconds.
3. Immediately after, press and hold the START and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds.
4. Rotate the cycle selector knob to the 2 O’clock position.
On better model dryers, the error code will appear in the digital display. On good models, the five indicator lights of
Drying, Cool Down, Wrinkle Rid, and Clean Lint Filter Spin will flash the number of times for the first digit of the code
and the START indicator light will flash the number of times for the second digit. Take
separate counts of each indicator
light, then repeat to confirm in order to be accurate in identifying the proper error code. The code is obtained by counting
the number of times the lights flash. Example E24: The five indicator lights would flash twice indicating the 2 and the
START indicator light will flash four times indicating the 4. The five indicator lights and the START indicator light start
flashing at the same time. The control will pause for 2 seconds, then repeat the code.
Note: A letter appearing in the code stands for a number higher than nine.
A = 10 B = 11 C = 12 D = 13 E = 14 F = 15
Example Code E4A: the first digit would be 4 and the second digit would be 10. If this code would appear on a dryer in
the Good model line, the five indicator lights would blink four times and the START indicator light would blink ten times.
Troubleshoot problem by using chart below.
To move on to the next code, press the OPTIONS button. To clear code, press the Select button.
To exit this mode, simultaneously press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons for six seconds.
Error
Code
Label Description Solution
E10 General EEPROM
Fault
Problem with communication
between EEPROM and the
microcontroller.
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 button 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.
