How to Fix Amana Dryer Error E2

Error Code: E2 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Indicates a shorted thermistor, causing the dryer to misread the temperature.

How to Fix E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Ensure the dryer is completely disconnected from the power by unplugging the power cord from the wall socket.
2. To access the internal components, you will need to remove the rear service panel by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place.
3. Identify the thermistor, which is a small sensor responsible for reading the air temperature. It is usually located on the blower housing and has two wires attached.
4. Gently unplug the wire connector from the thermistor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
5. Use a screwdriver or nut driver to remove the screw holding the thermistor in place, then remove the old thermistor.
6. Position the new thermistor in the same spot, fasten it with the screw, and securely plug the wire connector back in.
7. Reinstall the rear service panel, plug the dryer in, and start a cycle to verify that the repair was successful.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
