How to Fix E83 Error (Step-by-Step)

Attempt to reset the dryer by pressing the ‘Power’ button to turn it off.
Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet for 5-10 minutes to clear any electronic glitches.
Plug the dryer back in and turn it on and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Slowly and deliberately turn the cycle selector knob through all its positions.
Ensure the knob is properly aligned with a cycle selection before pressing ‘Start’.
If the knob feels loose or does not ‘click’ into place, it may need to be re-seated on its shaft.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
