How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the control panel.
- Reset to factory settings: Consult the user manual for the procedure to reset all cycles and options to factory defaults. This often clears minor software glitches.
- Power cycle: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge, then reconnect and test.
- Check for stuck buttons: Inspect the control panel for buttons that are stuck or continuously pressed, which can confuse the program logic. Clean or replace the panel if necessary.
- Update or replace control board: If E16 persists and cycles remain erratic, the main control board may need replacement. Transfer all connectors carefully to the new board.
