Possible Causes
Faulty dryer relay on main PCB, Loose connector to dryer heater or fan, Shorted dryer component causing PCB protection, PCB firmware error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal components.
- Step 1 – Check connectors: Remove the top and rear panels. Inspect all connectors going from the main control PCB to the dryer heater, fan motor, and sensors. Reseat them firmly.
- Step 2 – Inspect for shorts: Look for burnt wires or signs of arcing around the dryer heater and fan. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.
- Step 3 – Test dryer components: With a multimeter, check the dryer heater and fan motor for correct resistance and absence of shorts to ground.
- Step 4 – PCB assessment: If all dryer components test good and wiring is intact, the dryer relay or control circuit on the PCB may be faulty. PCB repair or replacement is usually required.
