Possible Causes
Loose or burned terminal block connection on L2, Tripped half of double-pole breaker, Faulty power cord, Defective wall outlet or wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the dryer breaker and unplug the dryer before inspecting electrical connections. If you are not comfortable working with 240V circuits, contact a qualified electrician.
- Check the breaker: Ensure the double-pole breaker feeding the dryer is fully ON. Reset it by turning it OFF and then ON.
- Inspect the terminal block: Remove the rear terminal block cover. Look for burned wires or loose screws on the L2 connection. Tighten any loose screws and replace burned connectors or damaged wire.
- Examine the power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or melted insulation near the plug and terminal block. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Test voltage: With the dryer unplugged, have a qualified person test the outlet for correct 240V supply. If one leg is missing, the outlet or house wiring must be repaired.
- Reassemble and test: After correcting any issues, reinstall the terminal cover, restore power, and attempt to run the dryer to confirm the error is cleared.
