Possible Causes

Undersized supply wiring, Loose power cord plug, Failing house breaker, Internal wiring harness loose connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting power connections.

  • Check outlet and plug: Ensure the dryer plug is fully inserted and not hot to the touch. A warm plug indicates a poor connection.
  • Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover and check for loose or burnt connections at the terminal block. Tighten and replace damaged parts as needed.
  • Verify house wiring: If possible, have a qualified electrician check the circuit for proper wire gauge and secure connections at the breaker panel.
  • Internal harness check: Inspect the main power harness inside the dryer for loose connectors or damaged insulation. Reseat connectors on the control board and filter board (if present).
