Possible Causes

Corrupted control board firmware, Damaged microcontroller or power supply on PCB, Loose control panel ribbon cable, Shorted component on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the control panel or main PCB.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Power reset: Disconnect the dryer from mains for at least 5–10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Reconnect and test. Sometimes this clears transient E09 errors.
  • Inspect control connections: Remove the top cover and access the main control board and user interface board. Check the ribbon cable and connectors for secure fit and no corrosion or damage.
  • Look for visible damage: Examine the PCB for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or swollen capacitors. Any visible damage usually means the board must be replaced.
  • Surge protection: If E09 occurred after a surge, consider using a surge protector after repair to prevent recurrence.

Note: Firmware or microcontroller faults are not user-repairable. Replacement of the main control board or user interface board is typically required and should be done by a qualified technician.
