Symptoms
The dryer displays error E004, indicating a blower motor blockage or stall. The drum or blower fan is not rotating at the expected RPM, causing poor airflow and potential overheating.
Possible Causes
- Blower fan blade jammed by lint buildup or foreign object
- Drum belt broken or slipped off the motor pulley
- Blower motor bearings seized due to wear or lack of lubrication
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Remove the lint filter and check the blower housing for obstructions
Blower wheel spins freely with no foreign objects or excessive lint - Step 2: Inspect the drum belt for tension and routing around the motor pulley
Belt is intact, properly tensioned, and seated on both pulleys - Step 3: Test the blower motor by manually rotating the shaft
Shaft rotates smoothly without binding or grinding
How to Reset
To reset: 1) Clear the blower obstruction or replace the broken belt. 2) Replace the motor if seized. 3) Power-cycle the dryer for 30 seconds to clear the error.
