Quick answer

Compact heat pump dryers show hE for a heating error; vented models should have the lint screen and vent checked.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so hE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

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

Heating error with the temperature too low or too high.

Heating error, temperature out of range

hE is a heating error. The reading is too low or too high. The code is listed for compact heat pump dryers.

If your dryer is vented

  • Clean the lint screen.
  • Look along the vent run to the outside for blockages, kinks or restrictions.
  • Make sure the outside vent and exhaust are clean, because dry times depend on ample air flow.

Codes people confuse with hE

A thermistor problem shows as tS, and a heater that gets too little voltage shows as L2. A power source problem is FE.
