Quick answer

hE on a compact heat pump dryer: a heating error, with the temperature too low or too high.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Heating error: temperature too low or too high.

An hE on the display of a Whirlpool compact heat pump dryer is a heating error. The temperature the dryer is reading is either too low or too high.

What hE means on vented models

This family also includes vented (non-heat pump) dryers. There the usual culprit is a lint screen that has clogged, or a vent to the outside that is blocked or restricted. Inspect the vent for kinks, confirm the outside exhaust is clean, and allow ample air flow so the dryer can dry properly.

Related codes

  • tS is the other temperature code, where temperatures are not reading correctly.
  • L2 covers low or no line voltage reaching the heater.
  • FE is a power source problem.
