How to Fix

  1. 1

    Enter diagnostic mode and press START/PAUSE once; dryer tumbles without heat.

  2. 2

    Open door; dE should display and chime should sound 7 times if sound is on; drum light (if equipped) should come on.

  3. 3

    If dE displays and light comes on, door switch is working properly — problem is elsewhere.

  4. 4

    If dE does not display, disconnect WH1 and BL3 connector from main PCB.

  5. 5

    Measure resistance between WH6 pin (GN) and chassis ground screw; should be less than 1Ω.

  6. 6

    If greater than 1Ω, check all wiring harness connections and ground screws.

  7. 7

    If less than 1Ω, disconnect BL2 and WH4 connectors from main PCB.

  8. 8

    Measure resistance between BL2 (WH) and WH4 (YL); should be less than 1Ω with door closed and open circuit (∞) with door open.

  9. 9

    If incorrect, replace door switch.

  10. 10

    Also check WH4 (YL) and WH4 (BK); if resistance is not less than 1Ω with door open and ∞ with door closed, replace light bulb or socket.

  11. 11

    If all mechanical checks pass but error persists, replace the main PCB.
