Error Code: C6 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Not specified in search results.
How to Fix C6 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
- The error often relates to the moisture sensor. Locate the two metal bars inside the drum, typically near the lint filter opening.
- Clean the surfaces of these sensor bars thoroughly with a soft cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. This removes any film from fabric softener or dryer sheets.
- Dry the sensors completely with a clean cloth and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Ensure the dryer is level by adjusting the feet, as an unlevel dryer can affect sensor readings.
- Check that the dryer is connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet, as improper grounding can interfere with the sensor’s operation.
- Plug the dryer back in and run a cycle to see if the issue is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
