How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before any inspection.

  • Power reset: Leave the dryer unplugged for at least 5 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge, then plug back in and test.
  • Check installation: Ensure the dryer is in a well-ventilated area and that the control board area is not blocked or excessively hot.
  • Inspect control board: Access the main control and look for burn marks, bulging components, or corrosion.

If E9 returns after a reset and no external issues are found, the main control board is likely defective and should be replaced.
