Dryer displays E5 and may not start or may shut off shortly after starting.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working on the door area.

• Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and the latch engages. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
• Test door switch: Access the door switch and test with a multimeter for proper open/closed operation. Replace if intermittent or faulty.
• Inspect wiring: Follow the harness from the door switch to the control board, checking for loose or damaged wires.
• Reassemble and test: After repairs, restore power and run a cycle to confirm E5 is cleared.
