Symptoms
• Dryer will not start or complete a cycle
• Display shows E05 error code
• Clothes remain damp after running a cycle
• Dryer stops mid-cycle unexpectedly
• Unable to select or run any drying programs
• Moisture sensor light may not respond
Possible Causes
• Lint or debris accumulation on the moisture sensor contacts
• Faulty moisture sensor requiring replacement
• Broken or damaged sensor wiring connection
• Control board malfunction preventing sensor communication
• Lint filter not properly seated, blocking sensor operation
• Moisture sensor calibration error
• Power supply issue affecting sensor circuit (240V supply problem)
Safety Checks You Can Do
• Unplug the dryer from the 240V outlet or turn off the dedicated circuit breaker for at least 5 minutes, then restore power to reset the system
• Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter, then reinstall it firmly to ensure proper seating
• Inspect the lint filter compartment for accumulated lint or debris and vacuum the area clean
• Check that the dryer's front vent opening is not blocked and that exhaust duct is clear of obstructions
• Ensure the external exhaust vent hood is not clogged and opens freely when the dryer runs
• Verify the dedicated 240V circuit breaker for the dryer has not tripped in your home's electrical panel
• Run a short test cycle after cleaning to see if the error clears
• If the error persists after these checks, the moisture sensor likely needs professional service or replacement
