How to Fix E80 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the dryer from its power source completely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
The drive motor is typically located at the base of the dryer. You will need to remove front or rear panels to gain access.
Before removing the motor, take a picture of the wiring connections for reference.
Loosen the tension on the drive belt and slip it off the motor pulley.
Disconnect the wire harness connected to the motor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the mounting bolts that secure the motor to the dryer’s frame and carefully lift the old motor out.
Position the new motor and secure it with the mounting bolts. Reconnect the wire harness and loop the drive belt back over the motor pulley.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
