Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before any work on the control board.
Basic user actions:
- 1. Power reset: Unplug the dryer for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and test.
- 2. Check supply voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within the specified range. Avoid using long extension cords.
Advanced: E14 typically indicates a non-recoverable control board memory fault. The main control board usually must be replaced or reprogrammed with Brandt service tools. This should be done by an authorized technician.
