Error Codes on Dryer Display? Here’s What They Mean

  • Washing machine drum is not spinning

Seeing strange error codes on your dryer display can be confusing – and a little stressful. If you’re asking, “Why is my dryer showing an error code?”, don’t worry.

At SmartFix Appliances, we specialize in fast, expert dryer repair to diagnose and fix any error your dryer throws your way.

Common Dryer Error Codes and What They Mean

Depending on your dryer’s brand and model, the meaning of the error code will vary. Here are some of the most common dryer error codes you might encounter:

  • HE Error (Heating Error): Indicates a problem with the heating element or thermostat.

  • E1 / E2 (Sensor Error): Signals an issue with the temperature sensor or moisture sensor.

  • F01 (Main Control Board Failure): Points to a malfunctioning electronic control board.

  • d80 / d90 / d95 (Vent Blockage Warning): Common on LG dryers, these codes mean restricted airflow due to a clogged vent.

  • tE Error (Thermistor Error): Faulty thermistor affecting the dryer’s temperature regulation.

  • DO Error (Door Open): Dryer detects that the door isn’t fully closed or the latch isn’t working properly.

These codes are your dryer’s way of asking for help – and that’s where SmartFix Appliances comes in.

Why Is My Dryer Showing an Error Code?

Your dryer may flash an error code due to:

  • Electrical malfunctions

  • Sensor failures

  • Blocked vents or airflow issues

  • Broken or worn parts

  • Problems with the control board

Ignoring these error codes could lead to bigger issues – and even potential safety hazards. Let our experienced technicians diagnose the issue quickly and provide reliable dryer repair solutions.

Can You Reset a Dryer Error Code Yourself?

Sometimes, a simple reset can clear an error temporarily. Try unplugging the dryer for a few minutes and plugging it back in.

However, if the code returns or won’t clear, it’s a sign of a real mechanical or electrical problem that needs professional attention.

At SmartFix Appliances, we have the tools, knowledge, and parts to accurately repair any dryer brand or model.
