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

Understand this is not an error code, but an indicator that the ‘Auto Dry’ cycle is selected.
The dryer is functioning normally and using its sensors to determine when the clothes are dry.
No action is required if you intended to use the Auto Dry feature.
To clear the ‘AD’ display, simply turn the cycle selector knob to a different setting, such as ‘Timed Dry’.
Press the ‘Start’ button to begin the newly selected cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
