How to Fix F5E4 Error (Step-by-Step)

This code indicates the dryer’s control board has not detected the door being opened for three straight cycles.
Simply open the dryer door fully and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Close the dryer door firmly, ensuring you hear a ‘click’ to indicate the latch has engaged.
If the code persists after opening and closing the door, inspect the door latch and switch for any signs of damage or obstruction.
Ensure the door is not sagging and that the latch aligns properly with the door strike on the dryer frame.
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.
