The constricted airflow inside the laundry dryer

Check the machine’s lint screen and clean it if you find it clogged. This screen may also become blocked with fabric softener sheets buildup. In this case, you will have to wash the screen with water and clean it with a soft-bristled brush to get rid of the buildup. The next step you have to take is to examine the hone exhaust ventilation system leading outside your home. If blocked with something, consider clearing it the best way you can.

Your drier machine detects low L2 voltage

If this error is returned you might have some issue with your home power supply to your drying appliance. Check if the house circuit breakers are on. Reset them if they are tripped. Your dryer power cord may be another cause of this malfunction. Disconnect the power cord from the power mains socket and examine the cord and connections on the appliance terminal block. In case you reveal any loose wires connect them back in place or replace the power cord with a new one if you see it damaged.

Inlet thermal sensor malfunction

Try disconnecting the dryer appliance from the mains grid. Examine the wiring harness linking the main electronic control unit and keypad panel control unit and check if the connections on both units are secure. In case you see no issues with the wiring and the connections, we advise you to call a repair technician to have your appliance tested and the cause of the malfunction found. The repair technician will pinpoint what unit in your appliance needs replacement.

Restricted communication between the main electronic control unit and the keypad panel control unit

Disconnect the laundry dryer from the mains network. Inspect the wire harness between both keypad control units and their connections for any breaks. Next, examine the wire harness linking the main electronic control unit and the keypad panel assembly and see if the connections are secure. In case you see both harnesses fit to operate, you will probably have to replace one or both keypad control assemblies with new ones.

Great service at a great price! My appointment was made shortly after I called Superior Appliance. The Technician arrived on time and got straight to business. Sadly, he didn’t have the part he needed, but was honest and explained that he had a busy schedule and would return in 1-2 days. He did just that. Followed through on his word with the part and was able to fix one problem my washer had. He also found another problem with my washer and had the part on hand and fixed it right away. A big win for me! Timely service at a great price and I can do laundry again. Superior Appliance Thank you. If I have any issues with my appliances I know who I’m calling.
