Possible Causes
Shorted NTC sensor, Moisture inside sensor connector, Pinched sensor wiring, Faulty main control board reading low resistance
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the dryer.
- Dry and inspect connector: Remove the sensor connector and check for moisture or corrosion. Dry thoroughly and clean contacts.
- Test sensor: Measure resistance at room temperature. A very low resistance (near 0 Ω) indicates a shorted sensor that must be replaced.
- Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or melted wires that could be shorting together. Repair or replace as needed.
If E72 persists with a new sensor and intact wiring, the control board may be misreading the sensor and should be replaced by a technician.
