Error codeE71

E71 explained
NTC1 is the outlet control thermistor, and E71 reports an open circuit in it. The code is current generation, from the data sheet shown with model EIMED6CJIW.
What is checked
The outlet control thermistor
The wiring that connects it
The chart lists either as defective. A technician measures the thermistor resistance and examines the wiring for an open circuit, and the dryer stays unplugged while that happens.
Call (415) 449-0036 when E71 appears on a dryer in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area to discuss Electrolux dryer repair. The model number and the code written down in advance make the call simpler.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E71 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code means

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
