How to Fix Dryer Error

Remove the water drawer (usually on the top left).
Fill the drawer with distilled water up to the fill line.
Reinsert the drawer completely.
If the drawer is full and code persists, check the level sensor float inside the drawer mechanism for movement.

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