My dryer stops after a few minutes of drying and an error code, E1, is shown in the display. I can restart and it runs for a few minutes and shuts back off, taking many restarts to actually dry a load of clothes.

Probably related to this problem is the display on the matching washer that doesn't work right now either. I believe I may have had some sort of power surge or something because both problems began within a few days of each other.

any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

E1 means:
Thermistor Failure. You will need to replace this.

Here's the one for your model you can order:
Manufacturer part#8577274 is RepairClinic item#1181075
8577274

You would need to take off the lower front access panel under your door, then take off the duct assembly#45, by removing the two #32 screws, and remove the #2 screw at the very bottom of the duct assembly with a bracket#11 attached to it, remove that one also. Unplug your dryer first! Then your thermistor is #42 on the blower housing, next to your thermal fuse#59.
