Hi,

Anyone know what E1 means when the dryer stops early and flashes this
on the LED display? This is a gas dryer with the electronic touch
panel control.

It means the thermistor which controls temperature has gone open-circuit, or
one of the wires to it has broken. It's located on the blower housing in the
bottom of the dryer. No doubt either Jeff or Dan will provide a link showing
how to get to it on one of their excellent websites :-)

Hi,

No model# posted...but one referance to an E1 code....
E1 or E2

Thermistor Failure

The dryer will not operate if the exhaust temperature drops below 18
degrees F. or exceeds 250 degrees F.
When the thermistor circuit is open (>50K ohms), the error code E1
flashes in the display.
When the thermistor circuit is shorted (<500 ohms), the error code E2
flashes in the display.
Normal thermistor resistance values:
60 degrees F. - 15.3K ohms.
70 degrees F. - 11.9K ohms.
80 degrees F. - 9.2K ohms.

Might be a good idead to check/clean the venting system/vent hood and
check the dryers thermitor....this what a common thermistor looks
like...
