My Whirpool Duet dryer, model number GEW9200LW0, stops drying clothes after a couple of minutes of being on and displays an error code E1.
I have the same problem. I have checked the vents, they seem to be working fine -- I can feel air coming out of the vent on the outside of the house and there is no lint blocking it.

Make sure you are not using a timed drying setting. Use one of the pre programmed functions on the dial. These settings are meant to use a sensor and stop when the clothes are dry. If the problem continues on one of these settings, there is likely a problem with the sensor or your heating element
Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya The dreaded E1 error code is telling you that the thermistor on the dryer has failed and needs to be replaced Dryer thermister
- Located on the blower housing next to the thermal fuse.
Part Number: AP3919451
made by WHIRLPOOL HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
clear the exhaust tube of lint and make sure you have good air flow out of house and also if you happen to keep anything on top of your dryer please i say this to all NEVER keep anything on top ot it. Clothes or stacked items on top insulates your cabinet and makes dryer run improperly. Nowadays with sensors and all, it fools your machine when you have stuff on top of it. Good Luck
there is a thermostat called a thermister on the blower box that will do that(run for few minutes and shut off) get the model number off dryer door or on inside dryer door wall ,go to sears .com click on parts put in model number and it will show you exactly where everything goes,let me know how you do-mike
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
I don't have a manual on the newest dryer like you have, but one of the models just older than yours has a F23 code that indicates a shorted thermistor.( temp sensor )
Since it is new you need to call for service. They will usually look up the code and tell you if it is anything you need to check but most likely you will need a repairman to repair it in warranty.
