How to Fix -:– Error (Step-by-Step)

Press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to stop any current cycle.
Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully reset.
Plug the dryer back into the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Select a new drying cycle and press ‘Start’ to see if the code has cleared.
If the dashes reappear, try a different electrical outlet to rule out a power supply issue.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
