How to Fix L2 Error

Check your home circuit breaker box; the dryer requires two fuses/breakers to provide 240V.
Reset the breakers even if they look on (flip Off then On).
If the dryer runs but doesn’t heat, verify the power cord terminal block screws are tight.

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