⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: 34-36 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Capacitive sensor errors.
How to Fix 34-36 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet.
- Open the dryer door and look inside the drum for two metallic strips, which are the moisture sensors. They are usually located on the front bulkhead near the lint filter housing.
- Dampen a soft cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a mixture of mild soap and water.
- Firmly wipe down the entire surface of both moisture sensor strips. Fabric softener and dryer sheet residue can create an invisible film that prevents the sensors from working correctly.
- After cleaning, use a clean, dry cloth to completely dry the sensor strips.
- Reconnect the dryer to the power outlet and run a test cycle to see if the error is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
