Kenmore Dryer Error Code E67

The E67 error code on a Kenmore dryer indicates a heater sensing failure traced directly to a defective Electronic Control Board (ECB). The ECB is responsible for monitoring the heating circuit throughout the drying cycle, reading input signals from temperature sensors, and regulating heater activation. When the board loses its ability to accurately interpret or process these heater-related signals, it flags the E67 fault. This is not a sensor wire issue or a thermistor failure in the typical sense, but rather a failure originating within the control board's internal circuitry that handles heater feedback.

The Electronic Control Board manages the interaction between the heater assembly, the thermistor, and the relay outputs that switch the heating element on and off. If the board's sensing circuit becomes corrupted, develops a failed relay, or experiences a component-level failure on the heater monitoring path, it cannot properly confirm heater operation. This results in the E67 code being triggered even if the physical heater and associated wiring are functioning correctly.

Because the fault is attributed to the ECB itself rather than a peripheral component, the primary and recommended diagnostic action is direct replacement of the Electronic Control Board followed by a full operational retest. Technicians should confirm there are no visible burn marks, signs of arcing, or damaged connectors on the board before installing the replacement, as these conditions could cause premature failure of the new part.
