What does the E73 error mean?<\/h2>\n

The E73 error specifically points to a problem with the inlet control thermistor or its related wiring in your dryer. This part is essentially a temperature sensor that measures the temperature inside your dryer and communicates with the control board. The thermistor works by changing its resistance based on the interior temperature.<\/p>\n

Based on the temperature readings from the thermistor, the dryer can adjust its heating temperature so your laundry can dry in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n

If the thermistor – which also acts as a safety device – isn\u2019t working properly, your dryer might not heat up correctly, which can leave you with damp clothes. The dryer might also overheat, which can become a serious safety risk.<\/p>\n
