The Logic Verdict

Don’t panic. This usually just means the door latch is bent or the switch is loose. You rarely need a new motherboard.

What It Means

The dE code stands for Door Error. The sensor thinks the door is open while the cycle is trying to run.

Common Causes

  1. Door latch is bent.
  2. Door switch connection is loose.
  3. Lint blocking the latch mechanism.

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Check for Obstructions: Open the door and ensure no clothes are trapped in the latch.
  2. Wipe the Latch: Use a damp cloth to clean the locking mechanism.
  3. Power Cycle: Unplug the dryer for 60 seconds.
  4. Test: Plug back in and try a cycle.
