E32 — Moisture Sensor / Heating Circuit Fault

How to fix it

1. Open the door and remove the lint filter from the door opening.
2. Pull apart any two-piece filter assembly and remove all lint by hand.
3. Rinse both filters under warm running water until clean.
4. Allow the filters to air-dry completely before reinstalling — wet filters can cause humidity errors.
5. Reinstall the filter assembly firmly until it clicks/seats.
6. Press the acknowledge button (varies by model — often Start or a dedicated reset) to clear the reminder.
7. Begin a new cycle to verify the code is cleared.
