Error Code: AE6 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Communication error between main and inverter PBA

How to Fix AE6 Error

UNPLUG THE DRYER. This is a communication error between the main control board (PBA) and the motor’s inverter board.
This is a complex internal electronics issue. First, try a hard reset by leaving the dryer unplugged for 10 minutes.
If the error returns, access the main control board and the inverter board (usually near the motor). Check the wire harness connecting them for a secure fit.
If the wiring is good, either the main PBA or the inverter board has failed. This repair is best left to a professional technician for accurate diagnosis.
