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

Recognize that this code means the dryer is in a special test mode, not indicating a fault.
To exit this mode, press and hold the ‘Start/Pause’ button for approximately 5 to 10 seconds.
If that does not work, try pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to reset the control panel.
As a final step, unplug the dryer from the power outlet and wait for five minutes.
Plug the dryer back in. The control should now be reset to its normal operating state and ready for use.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
