Error Code: E5C Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The input voltage to the inverter board is too high.
How to Fix E5C Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the power outlet to ensure your safety.
- Using a multimeter, carefully check the voltage of the wall outlet to confirm it is supplying the correct voltage (typically 240V for an electric dryer).
- If the outlet voltage is excessively high, contact a qualified electrician to resolve the household wiring issue. Do not proceed with the repair.
- If the outlet voltage is correct, you will need to access and replace the inverter board. Remove the top panel of the dryer to access the internal components.
- Locate the inverter board. Take a picture of the wire connections for reference before disconnecting them.
- Carefully disconnect the wiring and remove the screws securing the old inverter board. Install the new board.
- Reconnect all wiring harnesses, reassemble the dryer, and plug it in to test its operation.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
