⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: E5E Difficulty: Hard
Problem: There is a communication error between the inverter and the main PCB.
How to Fix E5E Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the circuit breaker for the dryer and unplug it from the wall.
- Take off the dryer’s top panel by removing the screws at the back.
- Find the main control board and the inverter board inside the dryer.
- Visually check the communication cable that runs between these two boards for any obvious damage, like cuts or burn marks.
- Disconnect the communication cable from both boards and plug it back in, making sure the connections are snug and secure.
- If no damage is found and the connection is good, the error indicates a failure in either the main control board or the inverter board, requiring replacement of the faulty component.
- After replacing the suspected board, put the dryer back together, restore power, and run a test cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
