How to Fix dHE Error

This indicates a temporary error with the drying system in a washer/dryer combo, often due to a sensor detecting unusual conditions.
Press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle, then press it again to resume. This often clears the error.
If the error returns, turn the washer off, wait 5 minutes, and then restart the dry cycle.
Ensure the lint filter is clean, as poor airflow can contribute to drying errors.

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