Error Code: E71 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Outlet thermistor is out of range / Wash NTC failure.
How to Fix E71 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Locate the outlet thermistor, which is usually found on the blower housing.
- Inspect the wiring and harness connecting the thermistor to the control board for any loose or damaged connections.
- If the wiring is secure, disconnect the thermistor and test its resistance with a multimeter. At room temperature, it should read approximately 5,000 ohms.
- If the resistance is significantly out of range, the thermistor is faulty and needs to be replaced.
- Replace the thermistor and securely reconnect the wiring and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Reassemble the dryer and test its operation and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
