How to Fix -:– Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Press the ‘Power’ or ‘Cancel’ button on the control panel to attempt to clear the display.
  2. If the dashes remain, unplug the dryer’s power cord from the wall outlet.
  3. If the dryer is hardwired or the outlet is inaccessible, turn off the corresponding breaker in your home’s electrical panel.
  4. Leave the dryer without power for at least five minutes. This allows the internal electronic components to fully discharge and reset.
  5. Plug the dryer back in or turn the circuit breaker back on.
  6. Select a new drying cycle and press ‘Start’ to see if the control has returned to normal operation.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
