Electrolux ELFE7637AW 7.6 cu ft Electric Dryer with Steam and Sensor Dry E62 Error Fix: Heater Relay Stuck On

Error code E62 on the Electrolux ELFE7637AW 7.6 cu ft Electric Dryer with Steam and Sensor Dry means: Heater Relay Stuck On. The control board has commanded the heater relay to open (turn off), but the board still detects current flowing through the heater circuit. The relay is stuck in the closed position, keeping the heating element energized when it should not be. This is a potential fire hazard. Disconnect power immediately. The control board must be replaced — the relay contacts have welded together. Until the board is replaced, do not use the dryer. Check the heating element for shorts to ground that may have caused the relay to overload.
