    Load the dryer and start it but it does not stay running. The pannel timer light flashes and then eventually turns off... clothes not dry. This happens all the time; there is no confidence that when you load the dryer, start it, and walk away that when you come back the clothes will be dry... We think it might be problems with the door latches...

Most customer manuels have a code listing in the back? Have you checked to see what E1 is? It sounds like its not sensing properly. the sensor works off the vent...so the most common problem is the vent or venting. Please check and advise

Shortly after starting a load in the dryer, the dryer stops, beeps and the lighted code says E1. The grid on back wall of dryer is very hot. I am unable to find my instruction booklet. This keeps...
Hello,

The E1 error code means that the electronic thermostat is the problem. With what your describing as far as it being very hot and the E1 code,i would suspect one of 2 things;

1) the thermister is bad and needs to be replaced

2) thier is a blocked/restricted vent and or excessive lint built up in the blower housing causing the heat to be retained in the dryer instead of being vented out and across the thermister where its getting a false reading and throwing up the E1 error code

My dryer will only slightly dry my clothers
make sure you have the required 240 volts to the unit,then check the high-limit and cycling thermostat(s) on the element case and make sure you have good air flow through out the unit,if its plugged with lint air won't flow and it won't dry right

Error Message E1 Dries for 3 minutes then stops and gives the error message
E1 means open thermistor. Clean lint duct assembly and blower. Make sure you have good air stream from the vent outside. If this doesn’t help, replace the thermistor.

E1 comes on during mid cycle and stops the dryer from drying
replace the compressor "compressor relay and the compressor overload" that are on the side of the compressor.
location: should be in the back on the bottom behind the panel.
if you have a circuit board they may need to be replaced as well.

ERROR CODE E1 MODLE #GGW9200LW O
E1 error code is for the thermistor, try cleaning off the bottom of the thermistor, (sometimes tacky lint will coat them), if that doesn't help, just replace the thermistor.

Error E1
dear customer,
most of the time the timers of dryers aren't faulty even though the dryer doesn't run properly in timmed mode. dryer timers have small motors on the back. The motor rotates gears and cams that open and close switch contacts that control the loads in your dryer. A load is something that does work like a motor, heater, light bulb or end of the cycle buzzer. When the timer is manufactured the amount of time each set of contacts will be closed is built in by the timer cams and gears.so i recommend yu to check the follwoing
  • Test the moisture sensor
  • Test the thermostats
  • Test the heating element
  • and finally the timer device.
hope you find this useful. thank you.
