Unplug the dryer and replace the control console because it's defective.

The control detects a failed exhaust thermistor (temperature sensor). Unplug the dryer and check the resistance of the exhaust thermistor using a multimeter. You should measure about 11,000 ohms of resistance at 70 degrees. If not, replace the exhaust thermistor.

Unplug the dryer and clean residue off the moisture sensor strips. If that doesn't correct the problem, check the wire harness connections between the moisture sensor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness connections are okay, and the sensor strips are clean, level the dryer. Garments won't hit the moisture sensor strips if the cabinet slopes back. If it the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.

The control detects a failed inlet thermistor (temperature sensor). Unplug the dryer and check the resistance of the inlet thermistor using a multimeter. You should measure about 49,000 ohms of resistance at 77 degrees. If not, replace the inlet thermistor.

Unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the heating elements and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Examine the heating elements and replace any damaged element. If the elements and wire harness connections are okay, replace the electronic control board.

Disconnect the vent hose from the back of the dryer and check airflow. If air blows out the dryer exhaust with the vent hose disconnected, then you likely have a restriction in the vent duct going to the outside of your home. Clear the vent duct restriction. If you detect no air movement, unplug the dryer and check the blower wheel. Replace the blower wheel if damaged.

The L2 leg of 240-volt power is missing. Check the house circuit breaker that supplies the L2 leg of 240-volt power to the dryer and reset the breaker if necessary. Unplug the dryer and check the power cord wiring on the dryer terminal block. Reconnect any loose power cord connections and wire the power cord according to the directions in the installation manual. Replace the power cord if damaged. With the dryer still unplugged, check the wiring connections on the electronic control board and reconnect any loose wires. Replace the control board if you find damage.

Unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the main electronic control board and the control console. If the wire harness connections are okay, replace the control console. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.
