We just bought a new front load dryer from Lowe's about a month ago. We ran about 6 loads through it no problems. It started flashing a E9E error code. We called Frigidare and they said it was [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']voltage error in the control panel[/font]. They sent out a repair man. After he looked at it he said it was a motor problem and we should take it back.

We took the dryer back and after about 8 loads it began doing the same thing.

Its an electric dryer and at first I didnt have it grounded. So I thought that may be the problem. I grounded it and it still isnt working correctly. Now it wont even run for 5 seconds before flashing the code.

I checked the voltage and I get 116 volts between red and white, and around 119 between black and white. Between red and black I get around 230.

Any ideas before I take this one back and get a different model? We have had this series of washer and dryer before and had no problems.

Thanks for any advice.

I have the same issue with mine, were you able to find out what caused yours?

Turns out there was a splice in the electrical line 1/2 way between the plug and the fuse box. Ran a new line directly between the two and havent had an issue since.

I hope that helps.

I disassembled my machine today and found the control board is shorted out. A new one is on order and I believe this is my only problem.

Ok, we had a similar problem. E9E error code and just a humming noise. Dryer would NOT turn, start etc.

After reading some of the responses, I was about to buy a new motor or control panel. Instead, my mother-in-law decided to get a repair guy out.

He had it working within half an hour, including disassembly, reassembly, etc.

The motor was stuck in a run mode vs. start mode due to lint. Since this is caused by centrifugal force (and lint inhibited it from disengaging, if I recall) simply moving the motor back and forth solved the issue. $85 for the service call. My suggestion is to check this before replacing your motor or board. Although the board or motor could absolutely be at fault and cause the same error, this is something easy you can do and potentially save a lot of money and time in the proces. Cheers!
