Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing control components.
- Power cycle: Unplug the dryer for 5–10 minutes and reconnect. Attempt to start a basic timed cycle.
- Try different programs: If only specific programs trigger E10, the program selector or its contacts may be worn or dirty. Rotate the selector through all positions several times to clean contacts.
- Check user interface connections: Remove the control panel fascia and reseat the ribbon cable or harness between the user interface and main control board.
If E10 continues, the control board may need to be reconfigured or replaced with the correct model-specific board. This typically requires service documentation and may be best handled by a technician.
