What E94 / E97 means

E94 and E97 show on Electrolux Wave-Touch and IQ-Touch dryers like the EIED55HIW, EIGD55HIW, EWED65HSS and EWMED65HIW. An E94 is a cycle configuration checksum error, meaning the stored cycle data is wrong or the board is defective. An E97 is a program mismatch. The service chart calls for replacing the electronic control board. Cycles may not start or may behave strangely.

Common causes of E94 / E97

  • Control board cycle configuration
  • Program mismatch between boards
  • Defective control board
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the door and press the power button. 2. Try selecting a basic timed cycle. 3. Do not repeat this many times. 4. Call us with the exact code.

! Why to stop there
  • We confirm the board is the cause and that the replacement is the right version.
  • We test the dryer after the repair.
  • We say plainly when a repair is not worth it on an older dryer, and you see the price in writing first.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E94 / E97E94 / E97 questions
Will a new board fix it?

That is what the chart calls for. We confirm that nothing else is wrong first.

Why are cycle settings stored in the board?

The board holds the programs the dryer follows. If the data is wrong, the dryer cannot run them.

Is this common on older dryers?

Data errors do show up as boards age, so it is a known type of repair.
