Also displayed as: dE
How to Fix
- 1
Close the dryer door fully.
- 2
If door is closed and dE still appears: enter diagnostic mode and press START/PAUSE once to start tumbling.
- 3
Open door — dE should display, chime sound 7 times, and drum light should illuminate.
- 4
If dE does not display or light does not come on: proceed with mechanical door switch test.
- 5
Disconnect WH1 and BL3 connectors from main PCB.
- 6
Measure resistance between NA6-(GN) pin and chassis ground — should be less than 1 Ω; if not, check wiring harness and ground screws.
- 7
Disconnect BL2 and WH4 connectors from main PCB; measure resistance between BL2-(WH) and WH4-(YL) — should be less than 1 Ω with door closed, open circuit (∞) with door open.
- 8
If door switch is out of spec: replace door switch assembly.
- 9
If light does not come on separately: replace light bulb (15-watt, 120-volt candelabra base) or light socket.
