Understanding the GE Dryer E60 Error Code
The GE Dryer E60 Error Code is a door switch malfunction. The door switch will need to be replaced.
The door switch, which is integral to all dryer functions, is securely attached to the front panel by two locking tabs. When the dryer door is shut, the switch completes the motor circuit, enabling the dryer to operate. Conversely, when the door is open, the switch disrupts the motor circuit, halting the dryer’s operation. Additionally, opening the dryer door triggers the door switch to complete the drum light circuit, which in turn illuminates the drum light. When the door switch fails to complete the circuit you will get the E60 Error code.
