Possible Causes
Corrupted firmware, Damaged EEPROM chip on main PCB, Power surge damage, Loose control board connectors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the dryer from mains before touching the control board.
- Power cycle: Unplug the dryer for 10–15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and see if E14 clears.
- Check supply voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within the dryer’s rated range. Avoid using long extension cords.
- Inspect main PCB: Remove the top panel and examine the control board for burn marks or damaged components. Reseat all connectors.
- If E14 persists, the main PCB firmware or memory is likely corrupted. Replacement of the main control board is usually required and should be done by a qualified technician to ensure correct programming and safety checks.
