E11NTC Thermistor Fault E4AOverheating E5ADrum Motor Fault E68Heating Element Open E69Heating Element Leakage

E11

NTC Thermistor Fault

Exhaust temperature NTC sensor open or out of expected range.

Medium Priority

Possible Causes
NTC sensor failed open or shorted
Connector loose or corroded
Diagnostic Steps
1Inspect sensor connector for corrosion
2Test NTC resistance — should decrease as temperature rises
3Replace NTC sensor if reading is OL or near zero

E4A

Overheating

Drum exhaust temperature exceeded maximum safe limit.

Urgent

Possible Causes
Exhaust vent blocked — restricted airflow
Thermostat failed closed — heater running unregulated
NTC sensor providing incorrect reading
Diagnostic Steps
1Clean lint screen and inspect full exhaust duct for blockage
2Test hi-limit thermostat — should open at rated temperature
3Verify NTC sensor accuracy and replace if faulty

E5A

Drum Motor Fault

Drum motor not starting or stalling during operation.

High Priority

Possible Causes
Drive motor failed or seized
Drive belt broken or dislodged
Motor start capacitor failed
Diagnostic Steps
1Check drive belt for breakage
2Test motor start capacitor
3Test motor winding continuity — replace if open circuit

E68

Heating Element Open

Heating element detected as open circuit — dryer produces no heat.

Medium Priority

Possible Causes
Heating element coil burned out
Thermal fuse open due to overheating
Element wiring connection open
Diagnostic Steps
1Test heating element continuity — OL confirms open
2Test thermal fuse — replace if open before element
3Replace heating element if confirmed open

E69

Heating Element Leakage

Heating element is shorting to ground — safety hazard.

Urgent

Possible Causes
Heating element insulation failed — shorted to chassis
Element mounting loose — contact with dryer body
Diagnostic Steps
1Disconnect power immediately — do not operate
2Test element resistance to ground — reading other than OL confirms leak
3Replace heating element before returning to service
