Dryer displays E08, may run but time remaining is inaccurate or cycles end too soon/too late

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the cabinet.

Step-by-step checks:

• Locate inlet thermistor: Typically mounted near the heater housing or air inlet path inside the dryer.
• Visual inspection: Check for physical damage, melted plastic, or signs of overheating around the thermistor.
• Resistance test: Remove at least one wire from the thermistor and measure resistance at room temperature. Compare to manufacturer specs. Replace if readings are far out of range or unstable when gently warmed with a hair dryer.
• Harness continuity: Test continuity from the thermistor connector to the control board connector to ensure the wiring is intact.
• Control board evaluation: If sensor and wiring are good, the control board may not be interpreting the signal correctly and may need replacement.

When to call a technician: Sensor circuit diagnosis can be tricky; if unsure, contact a qualified technician.
