Crosley Dryer Error Code Err

Err on a Crosley dryer means that the cycle selector knob was turned after the dryer had already started a cycle. The control board rejects the change and alerts you with a beep and flashing status lights. The original cycle continues running without interruption. No malfunction has occurred when this is the only issue.

Pressing the Cancel button is the correct way to clear the Err notification and return the control panel to a ready state. Unplugging the dryer will also reset it, but the proper procedure is simply to press Cancel and then make your new cycle selection.

In most cases, there is no cost involved because Err is a user interface notification, not a component failure. If the code is appearing due to a damaged or faulty selector knob that shifts on its own, replacement knob parts typically range from a few dollars to around $20 to $40 depending on the part and source.

Press the Cancel button to end the current cycle first. Once the cycle is cancelled, you can turn the selector knob to your desired setting and start a new cycle. Trying to change the cycle without pressing Cancel first will continue to produce the Err alert.

No, the Err code does not indicate a safety issue or a component failure. It is a normal control board notification that your cycle change request was rejected. The dryer continues to operate safely on the original cycle that was running when the knob was turned.
