Westinghouse E62

Westinghouse error code E62 indicates: Westinghouse WDE Series / SensorDry Tumble Dryer: Overheating alarm E62; drum temperature exceeds maximum safety limit (> 95°C) and cycle halts immediately..

The primary root cause for Westinghouse code E62 is: On Westinghouse (Westinghouse WDE Series / SensorDry Tumble Dryer) models: Stuck closed heating relay contact on PCB (continuous power to heater), blocked lint filter stopping heat dissipation, or defective forward duct NTC sensor..

To resolve error code E62: Inspect heating relay on control board (ensure contacts open when unpowered, resistance ∞ Ω). Clean all lint filters and measure front duct NTC resistance (~5–6 kΩ at 25°C). Press Start/Pause together with Temp button for 5 seconds to exit service diagnostic mode and clear persistent EEPROM alarm.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Westinghouse code E62 persists, the physical component causing On Westinghouse (Westinghouse WDE Series / SensorDry Tumble Dryer) models: Stuck closed heating relay contact on PCB (continuous power to heater), blocked lint filter stopping heat dissipation, or defective forward duct NTC sensor. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test NTC Temperature Sensor Probe (Thermistor) across Across sensor pins 1-2 (unplugged harness). Expected nominal reading is 4.8kΩ–12kΩ (at 20°C–25°C). Tolerance: Negative temperature coefficient: resistance drops smoothly when warmed with fingers. OL = open circuit..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
