How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer.
Step-by-step checks:
- Hard reset: Leave the dryer unplugged for at least 10–15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and attempt to run a simple timed dry cycle.
- Check power quality: Ensure the dryer is on a dedicated circuit and that the outlet is not loose. Avoid using extension cords.
- Inspect control board: Access the main control board and look for obvious damage (burn marks, corrosion). Reseat all connectors.
- Replace control board: If E11 persists after reset and inspection, the control board memory is likely corrupted and the board must be replaced with an OEM GE Profile board.
Tip: Consider using a surge protector rated for large appliances if your home has frequent power issues (verify with an electrician).
