Error Code PS
Power supply error — electric dryer power cord not connected correctly or house power supply incorrect; also displayed when 240V is applied to PCB indicating mis-wired power cord
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: PS
How to Fix
- 1
Check the wall outlet with a meter at L1 and L2 — correct voltage is 208–240 Vac ±10%.
- 2
If outlet voltage is incorrect, have a licensed electrician inspect the circuit breaker and outlet wiring.
- 3
Check that the power cord is correctly connected to the terminal block: neutral (white) to center terminal, red to right terminal, black to left terminal, ground (green) to external ground screw for 4-wire; for 3-wire, neutral center wire to silver center screw.
- 4
Verify the neutral (white) wire of the power cord matches the center N terminal on the terminal block — a mis-wired cord can supply 240V directly to the PCB causing PS.
- 5
Check connector BK2 or WH2 (Black wire) to BL2 (White wire) at the controller — should read 110–125 Vac; if not, check power cord connection.
- 6
Inspect the strain relief and ensure all terminal block nuts are tight.
- 7
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the house fuse — do not increase fuse capacity.
- 8
If all wiring is correct and voltage is confirmed in range but PS persists, replace the main PCB.
