Electrolux Dryer Error Code 0xB2

Error code 0xB2 means the dryer's control board has detected that the incoming line voltage is too high, outside the acceptable range for the appliance. The dryer shuts down to protect its internal components from overvoltage damage. The fault points either to an actual high-voltage condition at your home's electrical supply or to a failure of the main control board's voltage monitoring circuit.

A reset may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying cause is not resolved, the fault will return. If the line voltage is genuinely too high, the dryer will continue to detect the problem and re-trigger the error. The root cause, whether a supply voltage issue or a faulty control board, must be corrected for the error to stay cleared.

If the problem is a home wiring or supply issue, electrician fees typically range from $75 to $250 or more depending on the scope of the repair. If the main control board has failed and needs replacement, parts and labor for that repair generally range from $150 to $400 depending on the specific model and local labor rates.

Start by measuring the actual voltage at the dryer's wall outlet or terminal block using a multimeter and compare it to the dryer's rated supply voltage. If the voltage is high, contact your utility provider or a licensed electrician to investigate the supply. If the voltage reads correctly and the error persists after restoring power, the main control board may need to be replaced.

You should not attempt to bypass or ignore this error. An actual overvoltage condition can damage the dryer's electronics, create a fire hazard, or present a shock risk. Do not operate the dryer until the line voltage has been confirmed to be within the rated specification or the faulty component has been repaired.
