Problems you may notice
• Dryer runs but produces little to no heat
• Clothes remain damp or wet after a complete cycle
• Dryer stops mid-cycle and displays Err6 or E6
• Extended drying times even on high heat settings
• Error code appears consistently across different cycle selections
• Dryer may shut off automatically to prevent overheating of internal components
Possible Causes
• Faulty heating element that has burned out or lost continuity
• Malfunctioning thermal sensor or thermistor unable to read temperature accurately
• Broken or disconnected thermal fuse that has blown due to excessive heat
• Damaged wiring or loose electrical connections to heating components
• Lint accumulation inside the dryer vent restricting airflow and causing temperature sensor errors
• Defective control board or heating element relay unable to power the heating circuit
• Power supply issues specific to 240V circuits common in USA electrical installations
Precautionary measures
• Verify the dryer is properly plugged in and the wall outlet is functioning by testing with another appliance
• Check your home's circuit breaker panel and ensure the breaker for the dryer circuit has not tripped; reset if necessary by switching it fully off then back on
• Inspect the lint trap and remove all accumulated lint, then clean the trap housing area thoroughly
• Examine the dryer's external vent hood to confirm hot air is exiting freely and the vent flap opens properly
• Trace the dryer's exhaust vent hose from the back of the unit to ensure it is not kinked, crushed, or blocked with lint buildup
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely; a partially open door can trigger thermal sensors
• Verify you are not overloading the dryer; remove some items and attempt a new drying cycle
• Check that you have selected an appropriate heat setting and cycle; avoid using the lowest heat option
• Perform a complete reset by unplugging the dryer from the wall outlet (or switching off the breaker) for 60 seconds, then restore power and attempt a test cycle
• If the error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician to inspect the heating element, thermal sensors, and internal wiring
