NTC temperature sensor failure

The most common cause of the E62 error on a Electrolux dryer is thermistor open circuit (~70% of cases); start with: test the thermistor.

What Does Error Code E62 Mean on a Electrolux Dryer?

NTC temperature sensor failure.

E62 fires when the control board reads a resistance from the NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor that is open or outside its expected curve — normally near 10k ohms at room temperature. Because the board can no longer trust the exhaust temperature, it cuts or refuses to modulate the heater, so the dryer may tumble cold or halt mid-cycle. Unlike E61, which points to a shorted or over-temperature reading, E62 typically indicates an open circuit or a disconnected sensor lead.

Models affected: Electrolux electric dryers with an exhaust-duct NTC thermistor, including models such as the EFME627UTT and ELFE7637AT
What owners report: Owners commonly report E62 appearing after clothes come out damp on a heat cycle, or mid-cycle stops. A loose or corroded connector in the exhaust-duct area is a frequent false trigger, so reseating the plug before buying parts often clears it quickly.

What Causes Error Code E62?

Here are the most common causes in order of frequency. Start with the most likely cause before moving to the next:

  1. 1
    Thermistor open circuit 70% of cases
  2. 2
    Connector loose 20% of cases
  3. 3
    Wiring damaged 10% of cases

How to Fix Electrolux Dryer Error Code E62

🔧🔧 Moderate DIY Est. time: 30–60 min
⚡ Safety first: Unplug the appliance before opening any panels or touching internal components.
  1. 1

    Test the thermistor

    Unplug the dryer and measure the NTC sensor — about 10k ohms at room temperature; open or out-of-range means failed.

    🔩 Multimeter
  2. 2

    Check the connector

    Reseat the thermistor plug in the exhaust duct area and inspect for corrosion or a loose pin.

  3. 3

    Inspect the wiring

    Trace the sensor wires back to the control and repair any rubbed or broken insulation.

  4. 4

    Replace the thermistor

    Install a matching Electrolux thermistor in the exhaust duct and verify resistance before reassembly.

    🔩 Electrolux thermistor ($15–$40)

How to Reset Error Code E62

After replacing the thermistor or repairing its connector, unplug the dryer for 1 minute, restore power, and run a timed-dry cycle to confirm E62 clears.

Note: If the error returns after resetting, the underlying issue has not been resolved. Work through the fix steps above.

When to Call a Professional

If a new thermistor reads correctly but E62 persists, the control board's temperature-sensor input circuit has failed and needs professional board diagnosis.

Average professional repair cost for this issue: $150–$280

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep using my Electrolux Dryer when error E62 appears? +
You often can for a cycle or two, but the sensor issue behind E62 will keep interrupting normal operation until it is fixed. Plan the repair rather than ignoring the code.
What most commonly causes E62 on a Electrolux Dryer? +
Across reported Electrolux dryer repairs, the most frequent is thermistor open circuit (70% of cases), connector loose (20%), then wiring damaged (10%). Check them in that order before replacing any parts.
E62 keeps coming back after a reset — what should I check next? +
A reset only clears the stored E62 fault; if it returns, the sensor problem is still present. Move on to the physical checks — test the thermistor, then check the connector — since the code will reappear until the root cause is resolved. This is a moderate job — a multimeter and some disassembly are usually involved.
How much does it cost to fix Electrolux Dryer error E62? +
A DIY repair typically runs $15–$40 in parts, versus $150–$280 for a professional service call, so handling it yourself saves around $135. Expect the work to take roughly 30–60 minutes.
Which Electrolux Dryer models show error E62? +
E62 is documented on Electrolux electric dryers with an exhaust-duct NTC thermistor, including models such as the EFME627UTT and ELFE7637AT. Other units sharing the same control platform can display it too, so the fixes here generally transfer across the series.
