What the E67 error code actually means

The E67 code means your Kenmore dryer's main control board has lost the ability to properly monitor the heating system. The board is the brain of the dryer, and when it can no longer sense whether the heater is working correctly, it shuts things down and displays this error. In most cases, replacing the control board is the fix.

Questions people ask about E67

What does E67 mean on a Kenmore dryer?
E67 on a Kenmore dryer signals a heater sensing failure caused by a defective Electronic Control Board. The board is unable to properly monitor or interpret feedback from the heating circuit. This is a control board-level fault, not typically caused by the heater element or external sensors. Replacing the Electronic Control Board is the recommended resolution.
Is it safe to keep using my Kenmore dryer with an E67 code?
It is not recommended to continue operating the dryer while the E67 code is active. Because the control board can no longer reliably sense heater operation, there is a risk that the heating system could behave unpredictably. Discontinue use until the board has been replaced and the dryer has been retested.
Will resetting my Kenmore dryer clear the E67 error code?
A reset may temporarily clear the E67 code, but the error will return because the underlying cause is a hardware failure in the Electronic Control Board. Resetting does not repair defective circuitry inside the board. The only lasting fix is to replace the ECB and retest the dryer.
Can I fix the E67 error code myself on a Kenmore dryer?
Replacing the Electronic Control Board is a task that experienced DIYers can perform with basic appliance repair skills. You will need to disconnect power, access the board, transfer wiring harness connectors carefully, and install the replacement. If you are not comfortable working around appliance wiring, a qualified technician should perform the repair.
How much does it cost to fix a Kenmore dryer E67 error code?
The cost to repair an E67 error depends on whether you do it yourself or hire a technician. A replacement Electronic Control Board for a Kenmore dryer typically ranges from $80 to $250 depending on the model. If you hire a professional, total repair costs including labor generally range from $150 to $400.
