Dryer displays E11 and may stop heating or terminate cycles prematurely, particularly on sensor-dry programs.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working inside the cabinet.
Clean and re-ground:
- Thoroughly clean the internal moisture sensor bars with a mild abrasive pad to remove any insulating film.
- Ensure the drum and front bulkhead have a good earth (ground) connection. Check the earth strap or wire from the drum shaft/bearing to the chassis.
Check wiring:
- Access the sensor wiring behind the front panel and verify all connectors are tight and free from corrosion.
- Repair any damaged wires and ensure they are routed away from sharp edges.
Test operation: Reassemble and run a sensor-dry cycle with a mixed load. If E11 reappears, the main PCB's sensor circuit may be out of calibration or faulty, requiring board replacement by a professional.
