Possible Causes
Dryer mode relay fault on PCB, Faulty dryer motor winding (on dual-winding motors), Wiring issue in dryer circuit, Software/control logic error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection.
- Step 1 – Confirm symptom: Verify that the drum rotates normally in wash and spin but not in drying-only cycles.
- Step 2 – Check wiring: Inspect the motor wiring harness and connectors for loose or damaged wires, especially any separate dryer-mode connections.
- Step 3 – PCB relay: Listen for a relay click on the control PCB when starting a dry cycle. Absence of a click may indicate a failed relay or PCB fault.
- Step 4 – Professional diagnosis: Because this involves control logic and motor drive circuits, further testing is best done by a technician with access to Essentials service data.
