How to Fix 6E Error (Step-by-Step)

Attempt to clear the error by pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Stop’ button on the control panel.
If the code persists, unplug the dryer from the wall outlet or switch off the power at the home’s circuit breaker panel.
Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before restoring power. This process can reset the dryer’s internal checks.
Plug the dryer back in or flip the circuit breaker on.
Try to initiate a drying cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
