Error codes

# Dryer error codes, read properly.

A code narrows the search and is also the thing most often read wrong: the same characters mean different things on different brands, and a fair number of the codes people look up are not failures at all — they are modes the appliance was left in.

## Find your code, make by make.

Type the characters exactly as the display shows them, or pick the make. Each code has a page of its own: what it means on that brand, what to check, and what not to do.

### Only confirmed codes

Every code here is taken from the manufacturer's own documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. If yours is not listed, book with the exact characters and the full model number, and we will tell you whether it is one we take.

## Three things before you look it up.

A code is a lead, not a verdict. These decide whether the answer you find will be any use.

01

### The characters as displayed

Every letter and digit, in sequence, and whether it flashes. Take a picture first — opening the door or pressing pause can erase some codes from the panel.

02

### The whole model number

It sits on a label inside the door opening or on the back panel. One code can mean a vent problem on one make and a sensor problem on another.

03

### Any burning or gas smell?

That answer decides whether you cut the power, leave the house and call the gas utility now, or simply book the next open slot.

## What each kind of code means.

Codes fall into a handful of families. The family says more about the likely repair than the characters do — and one of them is not a repair at all.

[How to read a code](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-error-code/)

### Mode, not a failure

10 codes

A setting someone switched on, or a prompt the dryer shows by design — a child lock, a clean-the-lint-screen reminder, a demo setting. Nothing has failed and no part is needed.

[Hot](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-hot/) [Pause](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-pause/) [Empty](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-empty/) [Clean Filter](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-clean-filter/) [PF](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-pf/) [dn](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-dn/) [Flashing decimal point](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/speed-queen-idle-decimal/) [Loc](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-loc/) [KEY LOC](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-key-loc/) [Lint cLn](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-lint-cln/)

Usually leads to

No repair — the setting is changed back

Shows up as

[Dryer Not Starting](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-not-starting/) [Dryer Error Code](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-error-code/)

### Heating

12 codes

The dryer expected heat and did not get it, or got it too slowly. On an electric model the element and its wiring; on a gas model the igniter, the flame sensor and the valve coils. A blocked vent is ruled out first.

[NO GAS](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-no-gas/) [E5B](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-417-e5b/) [PS](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-ps/) [nP](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-np/) [GAS](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-gas/) [F4 E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-f4e1/) [L2](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-l2/) [F158](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f158/) [F159](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f159/) [HC](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-hc/) [HC2](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-hc2/) [F4 E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f4e1/)

Usually leads to

Shows up as

[Dryer Not Heating](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-not-heating/) [Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-takes-too-long/)

### Sensor circuit

16 codes

A thermistor or the moisture sensor bars reading outside their range, or the wiring to them. The reading is checked with a meter before any part is ordered.

[E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e1/) [E 4](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-e4/) [E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-110-e1/) [tE1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-796-te1/) [tE1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-te1/) [HS](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-hs/) [HS](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-hs/) [tE1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-te1/) [tE2](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-te2/) [F3 E3](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-f3e3/) [F3E5](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-f3e5/) [F1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f1/) [F3](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f3/) [tC](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-tc/) [F3 E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f3e1/) [F3E2](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f3e2/)

[Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-takes-too-long/) [Dryer Overheating](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-overheating/)

### Drive motor and belt

4 codes

The control expected the drum to turn and it did not — a snapped belt, a seized idler pulley or a motor that hums without starting. The belt and pulley are checked before the motor.

[Ex52](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-compact-ex52/) [F53](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f53/) [3C](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-3c/) [Er ro](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/speed-queen-er-ro/)

Shows up as

[Dryer Not Spinning](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-not-spinning/) [Dryer Making Loud Noise](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-loud-noise/)

### Restricted airflow

13 codes

Air is not leaving the dryer fast enough. Lint in the duct, a crushed hose behind the machine or a stuck flap on the outside hood is found long before any part fails.

[E4](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e4/) [CArE](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-care/) [EF1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-ef1/) [Vent Blocked](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-vent-blocked/) [353](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-353/) [Check Vent](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-check-vent/) [E8C](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-417-e8c/) [d95](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-signature-d95/) [d80](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-d80/) [F4 E3](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/maytag-f4e3/) [F66](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f66/) [C90](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-c90/) [F4 E3](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f4e3/)

### Door and lock

10 codes

The control cannot confirm that the door is shut, so it will not start. A worn strike or a bent latch is looked at before the door switch itself.

[E7](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e7/) [E 42](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-e42/) [dE](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-796-de/) [dE](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-de/) [F36](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f36/) [F252](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f252/) [dC](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-dc/) [Door Open](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/speed-queen-door-open/) [ERR](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-err/) [door OPEn](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-door-open/)

[Dryer Door Won't Latch](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-door-wont-latch/) [Dryer Not Starting](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-not-starting/)

### Water system (ventless)

7 codes

On a ventless dryer, the water it pulls from the load is not reaching the container or the drain — a full tank, a blocked condenser or a pump that is not running.

[E3](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e3/) [Empty Tank](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-empty-tank/) [Ex21](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-compact-ex21/) [E13](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/lg-e13/) [Water tank](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-water-tank/) [H2O FULL](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-h2o-full/) [cLn cond](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-cln-cond/)

[Dryer Leaking Water](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-water-leaking/) [Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-takes-too-long/)

### Communication

5 codes

The main control board and the display board have stopped talking to each other. The harness and its connectors are checked before either board.

[E0](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e0/) [E2](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e2/) [E10](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-417-e10/) [AC](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-ac/) [F6 E1](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f6e1/)

Usually leads to

[Controls and sensors](https://dryerrepair.center/services/controls-and-sensors/)

Shows up as

[Dryer Control Panel Not Responding](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/control-panel-not-responding/) [Dryer Error Code](https://dryerrepair.center/problems/dryer-error-code/)

For the heart of your home.

## Questions about the codes.

### My dryer's code is not listed. What now?

It only means there is no documented page for it here yet; codes are added only when the maker's own material explains them. Write down the characters and whether they flash, and put them in the booking form so the technician can read them against your model.

### Does one code mean the same thing on every make?

No. Characters that point to a restricted vent on one brand can point to a door switch or a sensor on another, and some makers changed meanings between generations. Always read a code against the make and, where it matters, the model.

### Can I clear the code on my own?

Unplugging the dryer or switching off its breaker for a few minutes sometimes clears it, and a code that does not come back was often a one-time event. One that returns is reporting something real, and clearing it repeatedly only hides how often it happens.

### The display shows a code but the dryer still heats. Is anything wrong?

Sometimes not. Several codes owners look up are reminders or locks — a clean-the-lint-screen prompt, a child lock, a demo setting — that change how the dryer behaves without anything failing. The code pages mark which ones are modes and how each is turned off.
