What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

E1 is handled with a breaker reset and test run; no cause is stated.

Handling E1

For commercial-grade residential dryers and other Whirlpool dryers, E1 is listed together with a reset only. Whirlpool’s help text does not say what causes it.

The steps

Power the dryer down by turning off its circuit breaker (or breakers) for 5 minutes. Power it up again by turning the breaker on. Then start a time dry cycle and keep an eye on the dryer for a minute, making sure the error code does not show up again.

Compare

E2 has the identical routine, see E2. Door messages on compact heat pump dryers are explained under dC.
