How to Fix E80 Error

UNPLUG THE DRYER. This is a specific, non-recoverable error on the main control board.
Attempt a hard reset by leaving the dryer unplugged for 10 minutes. If the code reappears upon power-up, the board is faulty.
The only fix is to replace the main control board. Follow the same procedure as for code F01/E
Locate the board, carefully label and disconnect all wire harnesses, remove the old board, install the new one, and reconnect all wires exactly as they were.
