How to Fix E32 / F32 Error (Step-by-Step)

Press the Start/Pause button to stop the current drying cycle.
Open the dryer door and look at how the clothes are distributed inside the drum.
Unravel any large items that have balled up, such as sheets or duvet covers. Shake them out before placing them back in.
Redistribute the entire load of laundry evenly around the drum to create a balanced weight distribution.
If drying a single, heavy item, consider adding a few smaller towels to help balance the load.
Close the door securely and press the Start/Pause button again to resume the cycle.
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.
