  • How to Fix Electrolux Dryer Error E18

    How to Fix Electrolux Dryer Error E18

    Error Code: E18 Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Output sensor disconnected – The outlet thermistor or wiring to the thermistor is open.

    How to Fix E18 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Ensure the dryer is completely disconnected from the power supply by unplugging it.
    2. Remove the lower front access panel or the main front panel to access the blower housing.
    3. Locate the outlet thermistor (part 5304513591) on the blower housing. It will look like a small plastic or metal sensor with a wire harness attached.
    4. Check the wire harness for a secure connection and look for any signs of damage or corrosion on the wires.
    5. Disconnect the wire harness from the thermistor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
    6. Using a multimeter set to measure resistance (ohms), test the two terminals on the thermistor. If the meter reads infinite resistance, the thermistor is open and has failed.
    7. If the thermistor is bad, unscrew it from the blower housing and install the new one, then reconnect the wiring and reassemble the dryer.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    How to Fix Electrolux Dryer Error E17

    Error Code: E17 Difficulty: Moderate

    Problem: Input sensor disconnected – The inlet thermistor or wiring to the thermistor is open.

    How to Fix E17 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
    2. Gain access to the heating element housing. This may involve removing the top or front panel of the dryer.
    3. Locate the inlet thermistor (part 134711200) mounted on the heater housing. It is a small sensor with two wires connected to it.
    4. Inspect the wiring connected to the thermistor for any breaks, burns, or loose connections.
    5. If the wiring is intact, disconnect the wires from the thermistor.
    6. Set a multimeter to the ohms setting and test the resistance of the thermistor. An open circuit (infinite resistance) indicates a faulty thermistor.
    7. Replace the thermistor if it is faulty, ensuring the new one is securely mounted and the wires are reconnected properly before reassembling the dryer.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

    How to Fix Electrolux Dryer Error E16

    Error Code: E16 Difficulty: Hard

    Problem: Vacuum switch – The vacuum switch was already closed when an attempt to start the dryer was made.

    How to Fix E16 Error (Step-by-Step)

    1. Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it.
    2. Locate the vacuum or pressure switch (part 134057700). It is typically found near the blower housing and has a small rubber or plastic hose attached.
    3. Carefully remove the hose from the switch and inspect both the hose and the port on the switch for any lint or debris blockages.
    4. Blow gently through the hose to ensure it is completely clear.
    5. If the hose is clear, the switch itself may be faulty. Disconnect the wires from the switch.
    6. Use a multimeter to test for continuity across the switch terminals. A closed switch will show continuity when it should be open.
    7. If the switch is determined to be faulty, replace it with a new one and securely reattach the hose and wires.
    8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
