Kent for Model Number GEW9250PW1 I just replaced the idler pulley on my dryer and it was working fine for several loads. Now, When I press the start button the dryer will run for about 1 minute and then shuts off and an "E1" error coded flashes on the panel. The heating element is working because it gets hot in that minute. I made sure the lint tube was clean and not kinked. What should I check next?
Answer Hello Kent. That is a thermistor error. The machine control electronics monitors the exhaust temperature using the thermistor, and cycles the heater relay on and off to maintain the desired temperature. Begin with an empty dryer and a clean lint screen. 1. Plug in dryer or reconnect power. 2. Set the following configuration: ? Door – must be firmly closed ? Press Control On ? Press End Of Cycle Signal (Louder) ? Press Start 3. If after 60 seconds, E1 or E2 flashes in the display and the dryer shuts off, the thermistor or wire harness is either shorted or open. ? Unplug dryer or disconnect power. ? Check wire connections at the machine control electronics and thermistor. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies, page 7, and figure 8 for thermistor location. ? If wire connections are good, remove the two wires from the thermistor and replace the thermistor. See figure 8. ? Plug in dryer or reconnect power. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, May 20, 2015
