Hello,

The reason for the E1 error code could indicate a problem in the dryer's thermistor or its wiring circuit. You can see what a popular thermister looks like at this link:

LINK > Whirlpool/Kenmore Dryer Thermister

It should usually measure in the area of 1.5K - 10K ohms but they can be intermittent and test Ok when out of the circuit and only fail during operation making them difficult to pinpoint as the cause of problems. If all the rest checks out, sometimes the thermister just has to be replaced to see if it solves the problem or not.

God Bless.

Error E1
I went on another site where I found out that it was a thermistor a part of the heat blower. I will be ordering it for $20 off that site and my husband will fix it.
