Error codeE32
ApplianceDryer
Quick answer
E32 on an older Electrolux dryer means the contact sensor frequency is too low. The sheet names the control board or an object at the sensor.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E32 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
Contact sensor frequency too low.
What E32 means
The contact sensor frequency is too low. That is how the Electrolux tech data sheet words the E32 fault.
Which dryers
Sheet: 137265000B.
Series: an older generation of Electrolux dryers.
Conditions named
A defective electronic control board.
A foreign object interfering with the contact sensor.
Technician checks
The sheet’s solution is to check the contact sensor and wiring and, if no problem turns up there, replace the electronic control board. Leave this to a technician, with the dryer unplugged.
E35: the capacitive sensor assembly cannot communicate with the main control board.
E34: capacitive sensor values outside the predefined threshold.
