E1
Thermistor open circuit
What causes it
Faulty temperature sensor.
What to check before calling
- ✓Check the lint filter and vent for a clog.
- ✓Power-cycle at the breaker; if it returns, the sensor likely needs replacing.
What happens when you call us
If those checks don't clear the E1 code, it's usually a sign of a failed part rather than something to keep resetting. A technician runs a full diagnostic on your dryer, confirms the cause, and quotes the repair before any work starts. The $89 service call is waived if you go ahead with the repair, and parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty on parts & labor.
