How to Fix C6 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent electrical shock.
  2. The error often relates to the moisture sensor. Locate the two metal bars inside the drum, typically near the lint filter opening.
  3. 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.
  4. Dry the sensors completely with a clean cloth and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  5. Ensure the dryer is level by adjusting the feet, as an unlevel dryer can affect sensor readings.
  6. Check that the dryer is connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet, as improper grounding can interfere with the sensor’s operation.
  7. Plug the dryer back in and run a cycle to see if the issue is resolved.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
