Press Start to clear the control, then wait about ten minutes. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What trips the motor protector on a Speed Queen dryer? An overload on the drive motor. Speed Queen treats one trip as something that resets itself after cooling, and a second trip as the cue to stop using the dryer. ### How long should I wait after Er ro on my Speed Queen? Speed Queen's troubleshooting advice is to wait ten minutes before trying again, which gives the protector time to reset. --- **[Read on the site: Speed Queen dryer showing Er ro | DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/speed-queen-er-ro/)** **[Book a visit with DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/schedule/)**
