Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the combo and allow the unit to cool completely before accessing the heater or ducting.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Clean lint and airflow paths: Remove the lower front or rear panel (depending on model) and inspect the internal lint duct, blower housing, and exhaust path. Remove all lint buildup to restore airflow.
- 2. Access the dryer heater assembly: The dryer heater in Monogram combos is typically located in a duct housing at the rear or side of the cabinet. Remove the necessary panels to expose the heater terminals and thermostats.
- 3. Test the heating element: Disconnect the heater wires and measure resistance across the element. An open circuit indicates a failed heater that must be replaced.
- 4. Check thermal cutoff and thermostats: Locate the thermal cutoff and high-limit thermostat mounted on the heater housing. Test each for continuity. Any open safety device must be replaced, and the cause of overheating (usually restricted airflow) corrected.
- 5. Inspect wiring and control connections: Verify all connectors between the heater assembly and main control board are secure and undamaged. Look for signs of overheating at the heater relay on the board.
- 6. Replace faulty components: Install OEM Monogram replacement parts for the heater element and any open thermostats or cutoffs. Ensure all mounting screws are tight and wiring is routed away from sharp edges.
- 7. Test drying performance: Reassemble the unit, restore power, and run a timed dry cycle. After several minutes, check for warm air at the exhaust and confirm E06 is cleared.
When to call a technician: If the heater circuit tests good but there is still no heat and E06 persists, the main control board or sensor circuitry may be defective and should be evaluated by a professional.
