“L2” Diagnostic Code

present. Touch any pad to clear the code from the display
and return to the estimated time remaining.
NOTE:
This error will only show during the initial installation.
Try the following:
Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker
has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or breakers.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Confirm that the power cord is properly installed. Refer to
the Installation Instructions for details.
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
“F# E#” (F1 E1, F3 E1,
etc.) variable service
codes
The dryer is in need of service.
If a code beginning with an “F” appears in the display,
alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has
detected a problem that requires service. Call for service.

The Control Lock is enabled.
Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to unlock
the controls of the dryer. During this time the LED Display
will count down 3-2-1. When the Control Lock is disabled,
