Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the dryer from mains before opening the control area.
Step-by-step checks:
- Hard reset: Unplug the dryer for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect. Sometimes this clears minor EEPROM or communication glitches.
- Check connectors: Remove the top cover and inspect all connectors between the user interface and main control board. Reseat them firmly.
- Inspect for damage: Look for burn marks or corrosion on the boards. If present, replacement is required.
Recommendation: E15 typically indicates a control board fault that is not field-repairable. Replacement of the main control board and/or UI board by a professional is advised.
