How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the circuit breaker and unplug the dryer before inspecting electrical connections.

Steps:

  • 1. Verify power source: Test the outlet with another appliance or a multimeter to ensure correct voltage and polarity.
  • 2. Inspect mains cord and terminal block: Remove the rear cover over the mains terminal block. Check for loose screws, burnt wires, or discoloration. Tighten connections and replace any burnt parts.
  • 3. Power reset: After correcting any issues, restore power and see if E15 clears.

Note: If the error persists and the supply is stable, the control board's protection circuitry may be damaged and the board will need replacement.
