⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: E5H Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The motor voltage is too low (below 100 volts).
How to Fix E5H Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet or shutting off the corresponding circuit breaker.
- Remove the screws securing the dryer’s top panel, which are typically located at the back of the machine. Slide the top panel off to access the internal components.
- Locate the inverter board. It is usually a small circuit board with multiple wire harnesses connected to it. Before disconnecting anything, take a clear photo of the board and its wire connections for reference.
- Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old inverter board. Most connectors have a small locking tab that needs to be pressed to release the plug.
- Remove the screws that mount the inverter board to the dryer’s frame. Lift the old board out of the dryer.
- Position the new inverter board in the same location and secure it with the mounting screws. Do not overtighten the screws.
- Using your reference photo, reconnect all the wire harnesses to the correct terminals on the new board, ensuring each plug is fully seated and locked into place. Reassemble the dryer by sliding the top panel back on and securing it with the screws, then restore power.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
