Possible Causes
Faulty ambient humidity or temperature sensor on control panel, Loose sensor connector, Control board sensor circuit failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control panel.
Steps:
- 1. Locate ambient sensor: On some Brandt models, a small sensor is located near the control panel air intake or behind the fascia.
- 2. Inspect and clean: Dust can coat the sensor. Gently clean with a dry brush or compressed air. Ensure the connector is firmly seated.
- 3. Test operation: Reassemble and run a sensor-dry program. If E17 persists, the sensor or control board may need replacement.
Note: This sensor is not present on all models; consult the service documentation for your specific dryer.
