How to Fix L2 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Go to your home’s main electrical panel and locate the circuit breaker for the dryer. It is typically a double-wide breaker.
  2. Firmly flip the breaker to the full ‘OFF’ position, and then back to the ‘ON’ position to ensure it is properly reset.
  3. Check the dryer’s power cord. Make sure the plug is pushed completely and securely into the 240V wall outlet.
  4. Carefully inspect the entire length of the power cord for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cuts, or burn marks near the plug.
  5. If the breaker trips again immediately or the cord is damaged, do not use the dryer.
  6. If these steps do not resolve the issue, the problem may be with the wall outlet or your home’s wiring, which will require a qualified electrician to inspect and repair.
  7. 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.
