50 matchesHUB — Speed Queen Dryer Error Codes: Full List and What To Do
A reference for all Speed Queen dryer fault codes - LCD text codes on newer models with displays, and LED blink patterns on older units without them. Covers the core fault types across residential and commercial models: airflow restrictions, temperature sensor failures, and door switch faults.
ER-RO — Speed Queen Dryer ER RO Error: Exhaust Restricted
The dryer's airflow monitoring circuit detected insufficient exhaust air movement, indicating the exhaust path is blocked or restricted
RESET — How to Reset a Speed Queen Dryer (All Models)
A procedure to clear stored fault codes from the control board and restore the dryer to normal operation. Works for transient codes caused by power blips or one-time sensor spikes, but won't fix codes caused by actual broken hardware.
N5 — Speed Queen Dryer N5 Error: Outlet Thermistor Fault
The NTC thermistor on the exhaust duct is sending a signal outside the valid range. Either it's shorted (reads zero ohms, control board thinks it's at max temp), open (reads OL, board sees no sensor at all), or the wiring to it broke somewhere along the run. Either way the board can't regulate heat and shuts the whole thing down.
HUB — Miele Dryer Error Codes: T1 and T Classic Series
This is a reference page covering all Miele tumble dryer fault codes across T1 heat pump models, T Classic vented and condenser models, and older T series machines. Each code points to a specific system fault inside the dryer, from lint restrictions to refrigerant circuit problems.
F066 — Miele Dryer F066 Error: Heating Fault Causes and Fix
The dryer's temperature control circuit detected a heating fault - either the heating element failed to reach target temperature or the overtemperature thermal cutout tripped due to restricted airflow
RESET — How to Reset a Miele Dryer and Clear Fault Codes
The RESET procedure cancels the active fault, clears transient error flags from the control board's volatile memory, and returns the dryer to a ready state. It doesn't fix broken hardware. It just tells the board to stop complaining about something that's already been resolved.
NOT-DRYING — GE Washer Leaving Clothes Wet: High-Speed Spin Not Working
The washer completes its cycle but clothes come out soaking or excessively wet. The spin cycle is not extracting enough water from the load. This is a washer spin issue, not a dryer problem.
HUB — Whirlpool Dryer Error Codes: F-Code and E-Code Meanings
This is a hub page covering all Whirlpool WED-series dryer fault codes. The F number points to the system that failed, the E number narrows it down to the specific component. Together they tell you exactly what the control board thinks went wrong inside your machine.
F4 E4 — Whirlpool Dryer F4 E4 Error Code: Exhaust Blockage Fix
The control board's monitoring exhaust airflow and it's detecting that hot air can't escape at a safe rate. Either the vent's physically blocked, the air path is too restricted, or the thermistor that reads exhaust temp is seeing numbers way outside the normal range.
F01 — Whirlpool Dryer F01 Error Code: Control Board Failure
The main electronic control board has detected an internal fault or has failed. The control board is the central computer that manages all dryer functions including cycle timing, heat control, and motor operation.
F9 E2 — Whirlpool Dryer F9 E2 Error Code: Outlet Thermistor Failure
The outlet thermistor sits right at the exhaust duct opening and monitors the heat of air leaving the drum. When it reads outside the expected range or goes completely open circuit, the control board throws F9 E2 and shuts things down to prevent overheating. It's a safety sensor, so when it stops talking to the board, the board panics.
F3 E3 — Whirlpool Dryer F3 E3 Error Code: Moisture Sensor Fault
Your dryer has two metal sensor bars inside the drum. When wet clothes touch both bars, a tiny electrical signal passes through. That signal tells the control board how wet the load still is. F3 E3 fires when that signal is missing, too weak, or stuck, because of residue buildup, a broken wire, or a physically dead sensor assembly.
F70 — Whirlpool Dryer F70 Error Code: Communication Fault
The main control board and the user interface board have lost their communication signal. These two boards exchange data constantly during every cycle. When the signal drops or gets corrupted, whether from a loose connector, a failed board, or a voltage problem, the dryer throws F70 and locks up.
E1 — Whirlpool Dryer E1 Error Code: Thermistor Open or Short
The thermistor is basically a resistor that changes resistance based on temperature. The control board reads that value to know how hot the drum is. When E1 fires, the board is getting either infinite resistance (open, meaning broken wire or failed element) or near-zero resistance (shorted element), and it can't use either reading to control heat safely.
PF — Whirlpool Dryer PF Error Code: Power Failure During Cycle
Power was interrupted while the dryer was running mid-cycle. PF is an informational notification, not a fault code. The dryer is telling you it lost power and the cycle was cut short.
F22 — Whirlpool Dryer F22 Error Code: Exhaust Temperature Too High
The exhaust temperature has exceeded safe operating limits, causing the high-limit thermostat to trip. This is a thermal protection event triggered by either a restricted vent or a failed cycling thermostat allowing runaway heat.
HUB — Maytag Dryer F-Code and E-Code Error Guide
Reference guide for all F and E fault codes across Maytag's MED and MGD dryer lineup. When two codes flash alternately on your display, the machine's telling you exactly which subsystem failed. Same underlying platform as Whirlpool, so the fault logic maps cleanly across both brands.
F3 E3 — Maytag Dryer F3 E3 Error Code: Moisture Sensor Fault
The moisture sensor bars inside the drum have stopped working correctly. They're either coated with fabric softener residue that blocks conductivity, or the sensor assembly itself has failed. The dryer can't figure out when the laundry's actually dry.
F01 — Maytag Dryer F01 Error Code: Main Control Board Failure
The main electronic control board has detected an internal fault or has failed. The control board is the central computer managing all dryer functions including cycle timing, heat control, and motor operation.
HUB — GE Dryer Error Codes: GTD and GFD Series Fault Code Guide
The dryer's control board detected a fault in the drive system, most likely the drum motor, motor wiring, or drum rotation feedback. When any of those signals fall outside expected range, the board throws a numeric code and cuts power to the motor to prevent further damage.
Error 353 — GE Dryer Error 353: Motor or Drive System Fault
Error 353 means the drive motor has failed, stalled, or tripped its thermal overload and the drum can't turn. It's a motor and drive system fault, not a drain issue, not a sensor. Something's physically wrong with the rotation system inside the cabinet.
HUB — Kenmore Dryer Error Codes: LG vs Whirlpool Models
Kenmore doesn't manufacture dryers. They're either built by LG (model prefix 796) or Whirlpool (model prefix 110). When a fault fires, the internal logic, sensor specs, and part numbers are completely different depending on which company actually assembled your machine.
DRYER-DIAG — Whirlpool Dryer Diagnostic Mode: Read F/E Codes
Whirlpool dryers with digital control panels include a service mode that stores fault codes from previous cycles. These codes use an F/E format where F identifies the failed system and E identifies the specific fault, helping you pinpoint the issue before disassembly.
CABRIO-DRYER-DIAG — Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer Diagnostic Mode Entry
Whirlpool Cabrio dryers use a rotating selector knob to enter diagnostic mode rather than button combinations. The specific knob rotation sequence activates the service test mode, which displays stored fault codes and allows component testing.
3C — Samsung Dryer 3C Error Code: Motor Fault
The drum motor failed to start or stalled during operation. The control board detected that the motor is not running at the expected speed or drew excessive current.
3C-FIX — Samsung Dryer 3C Motor Fault: Complete Troubleshooting Guide
The 3C code fires when the motor control circuit detects excessive current draw during startup. The motor's trying to spin the drum but something's fighting it physically, so the current spikes. The board sees that spike and shuts everything down before the motor windings overheat and burn out.
9C1 — Samsung Dryer 9C1 Error Code: Power Frequency Fault
The motor control or main control board detected that the incoming power frequency is outside the 60 Hz range it expects. Could be a real problem with your power source, or the board's own frequency-sensing circuit is failing and misreading perfectly normal grid power as out of spec.
CL — Samsung Dryer CL Code: Clean Lint Filter
CL is a cycle-count maintenance reminder on older Samsung dryers. The board tracked how many runs you've done since the last reset, hit its limit, and it's telling you to clean the filter. Not a fault code. Dryer's still running fine.
CL9 — Samsung Dryer CL9 Code: Clean Lint Filter Reminder
CL9 is a maintenance reminder to clean the lint filter. It activates after a set number of drying cycles and is not a fault code. The dryer continues operating normally.
CL9-FIX — Samsung Dryer Cooling Light Stays On: What It Means
The cooling indicator fires when Samsung's control board intentionally cuts power to the heating element near cycle end. The drum keeps spinning to tumble clothes with room-temp air, letting everything cool down gradually. Should last about 10 minutes. If it's going longer than that, something's off with the board or the sensors.
DE — Samsung Dryer DE Error Code: Door Error Fix
The control board detected that the door is open or the door switch failed to confirm the door is latched. DE is displayed on certain Samsung dryer models where other models display DC for the same condition.
FE — Samsung Dryer FE Error Code: Frequency Error
The control board detected a power supply frequency deviation from the required 60 Hz standard. FE is functionally identical to the 9C1 code and appears on certain Samsung dryer models.
H01 — Samsung Dryer H01 Error Code: Heater Open Circuit
The control board detected an open circuit in the heating element circuit. The element is broken, a connecting wire has burned through, or a blown thermal fuse in the element assembly has created an open.
HC — Samsung Dryer HC Error Code: High Temperature Fault
The dryer detected air temperature above the safe operating threshold. The thermal cutoff tripped or the cycling thermostat failed, shutting the heating system down to prevent a fire.
HE — Samsung Dryer HE Error Code: Heating System Fault
The dryer detected a heating system fault. HE appears on certain Samsung dryer models and firmware versions where other models display HC for the same condition.
RESET — How to Reset a Samsung Dryer: All Methods
A reset clears the Samsung control board's memory, dumps stored fault codes, and forces a fresh boot. Think of it like force-restarting a frozen phone. It's the first move after any error code appears and the first thing you do after finishing any repair.
TC — Samsung Dryer TC Error Code: Thermal Cutout Activated
The thermal cutout activated because drum temperature reached an extreme level. This is a critical safety shutdown. The dryer will not restart until the fault is diagnosed and cleared.
TE — Samsung Dryer TE Error Code: Thermistor Fault
The exhaust thermistor's reading is outside the expected operating range. The control board can't determine drum temperature, so it shuts down heating entirely to prevent damage or a fire.
9A5 — LG Dryer 9A5 Error: Power Supply Fault Fix
The control board detected an abnormal power supply condition. On gas models running on 120V, even a small voltage drop can trigger this. On electric models it usually means one leg of the 240V supply is weak or missing. The board's basically saying it's not getting what it needs to run safely.
CL — LG Dryer CL Code: What It Means and How to Clear It
CL stands for Check Lint. It's a counter-based maintenance reminder built into the control board, not a fault code. The dryer's not reading a sensor, it just hit a preset cycle count and wants you to clean the filter. Everything keeps running normally.
D80 — LG Dryer D80 Error Code: Exhaust Duct 80% Blocked
LG's Flow Sense system detected airflow restriction at 80% of the max blockage threshold. The dryer'll still run and heat, but performance degrades and it's warning you before things escalate to D90 or D95. Basically the sensor's picking up back-pressure that shouldn't be there.
D90 — LG Dryer D90 Error Code: Duct Blockage at 90% Threshold
LG's Flow Sense system detected that airflow restriction has reached 90% of the maximum blockage threshold. The dryer actively reduces heat output to prevent overheating. Drying performance drops significantly at this level.
D95 — LG Dryer D95 Error: Critical Duct Blockage
Exhaust airflow restriction has reached 95% of the maximum blockage threshold. The dryer has shut off the heating element entirely and will only tumble without heat. This is the most severe Flow Sense warning. Lint accumulation at this level is a fire hazard.
RESET — How to Reset an LG Dryer: All Methods and When to Use Them
When an LG dryer faults out, the control board stores the error in active memory and locks the display. A reset clears that stored state. For airflow codes like D80 and D90, the board won't clear until the live sensor readings actually improve. For most other codes, a power discharge does the trick.
TE1 — LG Dryer TE1 Error Code: Exhaust Thermistor Failure
The exhaust temperature sensor (thermistor) circuit is open or shorted. The dryer cannot safely monitor exhaust air temperature and will not operate normally until the fault is resolved.
NOISE — Ge Dryer Making Noise: Causes and Fixes
Your GE dryer's drum is supported by plastic glides up front and a ball-and-socket bearing in the rear. When those wear out, the drum drops slightly and starts rubbing against metal surfaces. Other noises come from a worn idler pulley, fraying belt, or debris caught in the blower wheel spinning at 1200+ RPM.
WONT-START — Ge Dryer Won't Start: Causes and Fixes
The dryer's control system received a start command but can't complete the motor start sequence. Something in the safety or mechanical circuit is open, whether that's a blown thermal fuse, a failed door switch, a broken belt, or a busted start switch. The board's fine but it won't fire the motor until that circuit closes.
NOISE — Lg Dryer Making Noise: Causes and Fixes
When LG dryer hardware wears down, the moving parts start generating friction, vibration, or impact sounds that travel through the drum cabinet. It's mechanical wear, not a software fault, so no error code fires on the display. Rollers, the idler pulley, drum glides, and the blower wheel are the usual suspects.
WONT-START — Lg Dryer Won't Start: Causes and Fixes
The control board isn't completing the circuit needed to start the motor. Could be a broken safety device like the thermal fuse or door switch, a failed relay on the board itself, or a power supply issue. Basically the board sees a condition that isn't met and refuses to run.
