How to Fix

  1. 1

  2. 2

    2. In diagnostic mode: with door closed, press START/PAUSE — dryer starts tumbling without heat.

  3. 3

    3. Open the door — drum will stop and dE error should display, chime sounds 7 times (if on), and drum light comes on.

  4. 4

    4. If dE error does NOT display or light does not come on → proceed with mechanical test.

  5. 5

    5. Disconnect Tab Relay Black and Blue from main PCB. Measure resistance between NA8-pin8 (GN) and chassis ground screw. Is resistance < 1Ω?

  6. 6

    6. If NO → Check all wiring harness connections, wire and ground screws.

  7. 7

    7. If YES → Disconnect BL2-pin3 (YL) and Black tab relay from main PCB. Measure resistance between BL2-pin3(YL) and Black wire(pin2) on black tab relay connector. Is resistance <1Ω with door closed and ∞Ω with door open?

  8. 8
