-:-- (dashes in the display) - Error Code - Dryer

Possible Solutions

Are any of the cycles working?

If any cycle is working, try resetting the controls:

  1. Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
  2. Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
  3. Start a time dry cycle.
  4. Monitor the dryer for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.

Is the " -:-- " displayed on all cycles?

It is important to ask the consumer if this error code is displayed for all cycles. If so, a control reset, as described above, may resolve the issue.

If the issue persists schedule service, and the Control will likely need replaced.
