How to Fix Dryer Error

Verify household electrical power is stable. Check circuit breaker panel to ensure dryer’s dedicated 30A breaker is fully ON.
Measure voltage at dryer outlet with multimeter during operation – must maintain 220-240V AC. Significant drops indicate circuit overload.
Inspect power cord and terminal block connections inside dryer for looseness, corrosion, or arcing damage. Tighten terminals to 15 in-lbs torque if accessible.
Ensure dryer is on dedicated circuit with no other high-draw appliances sharing the line.
For recurring voltage issues: Install whole-house voltage regulator or dedicated UPS for dryer circuit.
After verifying stable power, restore dryer operation and monitor for error recurrence during multiple cycles.

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