How to Fix EH3 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Unplug the dryer from the power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  2. Ensure the dryer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not into an extension cord or power strip.
  3. Check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet.
  4. Inspect your home’s circuit breaker or fuse box to make sure the breaker has not tripped or a fuse has not blown.
  5. If the issue is not resolved, an electrician should be contacted to check the voltage of the outlet to ensure it is sufficient for the dryer’s requirements.
  6. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
  7. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
