How to Fix E06 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Disconnect the dryer from the power supply completely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  2. For this repair, you will need to access the back of the dryer by removing the rear panel.
  3. Locate the heating element assembly, which is a large metal housing containing the heating coils.
  4. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the heating element. A reading of infinity indicates a broken element that needs replacement.
  5. Also, test the high-limit thermostat and thermal fuse, which are typically mounted on the heating element housing. These should have continuity.
  6. If any of these components fail the continuity test, the entire heating element assembly should be replaced.
  7. This is a complex repair and may be best left to a qualified service if you are not comfortable working with electrical components.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
