Symptoms
• Dryer will not start or stops mid-cycle when E02 is displayed
• Wet or damp clothes at the end of a drying cycle
• Dryer runs continuously without shutting off
• Excessive heat or abnormal heat patterns during operation
• Error code E02 appears on the digital display or control panel
• Unable to select sensor dry or moisture-sensing cycles
Possible Causes
• Faulty or defective moisture sensor element inside the drum or lint chamber
• Moisture sensor connections are loose or corroded
• Lint and residue buildup on the sensor contacts preventing proper readings
• Damaged wiring harness connected to the humidity sensor
• Control board failure or sensor circuit malfunction
• Improper airflow preventing accurate moisture detection
• Defective thermal fuse limiting dryer operation
Safety Checks You Can Do
• Check your home's circuit breaker to ensure the 240V outlet powering the dryer is functioning and not tripped
• Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet for 5 minutes, then plug it back in to reset the control board
• Open the dryer door and inspect the lint filter for excessive lint buildup; remove any accumulated lint and wash the filter with warm water
• Check the exhaust vent duct at the back of the dryer and outside your home for blockages, lint accumulation, or kinks that restrict airflow
• Ensure the exhaust vent termination (dryer hood) outside your home opens freely and is not blocked by debris, bird nests, or ice
• Verify that flexible vent ducting meets USA standards (no vinyl accordion-style ducts; use rigid metal or foil-lined ducting for safety compliance)
• Clean around the dryer exterior vents to remove any dust or lint that may impede proper ventilation
• Run a test cycle on a heat setting without moisture sensing to determine if the dryer operates normally without the sensor function
Safety First
Always disconnect the appliance from power before performing any checks. If you are unsure about any step, please contact a qualified technician.
