Error Code: E41 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Door opened at start.

How to Fix E41 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Open the dryer door and locate the door switch, typically a small plastic component that is pressed when the door closes.
3. Check if the door switch clicks when you press and release it. If it doesn’t, it may be faulty.
4. Inspect the wiring connected to the door switch for any loose or damaged connections.
5. If the switch and wiring appear to be in good condition, the issue may lie with the door latch and strike. Ensure they align and engage correctly.
6. If the problem persists, the door switch assembly may need to be replaced.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: E4 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Humidity Sensor Failed.

How to Fix E4 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the power outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Locate the humidity sensor inside the dryer drum, usually near the lint filter housing. It consists of two metal strips.
3. Clean the sensor strips with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any residue or fabric softener buildup.
4. Inspect the wiring connected to the humidity sensor. Ensure the connections are secure and not damaged.
5. If cleaning and checking the wiring doesn’t resolve the issue, the humidity sensor may need to be replaced.
6. For persistent issues, the main control board may be at fault and require testing and potential replacement by a professional.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: E32 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Moisture sensor frequency is too low.

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

1. Disconnect the dryer from the electrical outlet to prevent shock.
2. Locate the moisture sensor bars (Part 134786110) inside the dryer drum. Inspect them for any foreign objects, such as a coin or paperclip, that could be shorting them out.
3. Clean the sensor bars with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth to remove any potential conductive residue.
4. Access the back of the moisture sensor and inspect the wire harness (Part 5304515376). Ensure the wires are not pinched, frayed, or shorting against the dryer’s metal chassis.
5. Disconnect the sensor harness from the main control board and test the sensor circuit for continuity. A continuous short indicates a problem with the wiring or sensors.
6. If the sensors and wiring are in good condition, the problem points to a failure in the main control board (Part 134994700), which will need to be replaced.
7. Carefully install the new control board, reconnect all harnesses, and reassemble the unit.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: E31 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Moisture sensor frequency is too high.

How to Fix E31 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Open the dryer door and locate the two metal moisture sensor bars (Part 134786110) inside the drum, usually near the lint filter housing.
3. Clean the surfaces of the sensor bars thoroughly with a cotton ball or soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. This removes any film from fabric softener sheets or detergents.
4. Trace the wires from the sensor bars back to the main control board. Check the wire harness (Part 5304515376) for any loose connections, breaks, or damage.
5. If cleaning the sensors and checking the wiring does not resolve the issue, the fault is likely with the main control board (Part 134994700).
6. Access and replace the main control board, carefully transferring all wire connections to the new board.
7. Reassemble the dryer and test a sensor-dry cycle and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: E30 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Drum overfilled.

How to Fix E30 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Disconnect the dryer from its power supply and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Open the dryer door and inspect the drum for any foreign objects or tangled clothing that could cause an overfill condition.
3. Check the moisture sensor bars inside the drum. Clean them with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any residue from fabric softeners.
4. If the drum is clear and sensors are clean, the issue likely lies with the electronic controls.
5. Access the main control board (Part 134994700) by removing the top or front panel of the dryer.
6. Inspect the board for any visible signs of damage or burnt components. If damage is found, the board must be replaced.
7. Carefully replace the control board, ensuring all wire connections are secure.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Error Code: E24 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Fault in the compressor cooling fan sensor circuit.

How to Fix E24 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
2. Remove the rear access panel to gain access to the internal components.
3. Locate the compressor cooling fan (Part 134587700) and the associated thermistor/sensor (Part 134711200).
4. Visually inspect the fan for any obstructions, debris, or damage that might prevent it from spinning.
5. Check the wiring to both the fan motor and the sensor for any loose connections, breaks, or burn marks.
6. If the wiring is intact, you can test the fan motor and the thermistor with a multimeter for proper resistance. If either fails the test, it must be replaced.
7. Install the new part(s), reattach the rear panel, and plug the dryer in to test its operation.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
