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.
