Low Medium High

Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

E01 Control board / EEPROM fault Medium The dryer powers on and immediately shows "E01" before any cycle is selected, accompanied by a continuous alert tone from the control panel. View E02 Inlet thermistor shorted High The dryer completes its cycle but clothes are still wet because the heating element stopped producing heat mid-cycle. View E03 Outlet thermistor shorted High The drum motor runs normally and the display shows the cycle countdown, but the heating element remains off, leaving laundry cool and damp at cycle end. View E05 Outlet thermistor open circuit High The dryer displays E05 and the heating element never activates. The drum tumbles, air circulates, but clothes remain cold and wet throughout the cycle. View E06 EEPROM / UI mismatch error Medium The display shows "E06" immediately at power-on and the Start button is unresponsive, because the control board refuses to operate with a mismatched UI configuration. View E07 Stuck control panel button Low The display alternates between "E07" and the normal cycle readout, and pressing Start is ignored because the board registers one key as continuously pressed. View E14 Drum motor failure High The dryer powers on, heat may activate briefly, but the drum remains stationary. The control board detects no motor feedback signal and displays E14 within the first 30 seconds. View E60 Door open or door switch fault Low Pressing the start button produces no response — the drum does not turn and no heat is generated. View
