How to Fix Dryer Error

UNPLUG dryer from electrical power for 10 minutes to reset electronics.
Remove top panel, control panel, and rear access panel to expose all internal wiring harnesses.
Reseat every connector between main control board (rear compartment) and display board (front console). Press firmly until audible click.
Clean all connector pins with electrical contact cleaner and lint-free swab. Allow 5 minutes drying time.
Inspect entire harness routing for pinched wires, rodent damage, or abrasion near metal edges. Repair damaged sections with heat-shrink tubing.
If error persists after reseating: replace main control board using OEM part DC92-01003A.
Transfer all connectors to new board one-by-one. Secure board with mounting screws to 5 in-lbs torque.
Restore power. Enter diagnostic mode per model instructions (typically press Temp+Time+Power) to verify communication with all subsystems and clear error history.
