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.

! 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.
