How to Fix E5F Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet to prevent any electrical shock.

- Carefully unplug all the wire harnesses from the old board. Then, remove the mounting screws that hold it in place.
- Position the new inverter board, secure it with the mounting screws, and reconnect all the wire harnesses exactly as they were in your photo.
- Reinstall the top panel, plug the dryer in, and run a cycle to ensure the error is gone.
