Error codeE72
ApplianceDryer
A short circuit in the outlet control thermistor, known as NTC1, is the meaning of E72. It is a current-generation code and the data sheet is shown with model EIMED6CJIW.
Listed cause
The outlet control thermistor is defective, or
its wiring is.
That checking belongs to a technician. Take the plug out before any panel is removed.
With E72 showing, a call to (415) 449-0036 starts the process for Electrolux dryer repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Give the model number and the code when you speak to someone.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E72 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
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.
