The E1 displayed indicates the thermistor is open and needs to be replaced.
The connections can be loose but the most likely cause of an E1 error is a bad thermistor.
The dryer will not operate if the exhaust temperature drops below 18 degrees F. or exceeds 250 degrees F.

To access the thermistor see the image below.
Remember to unplug the dryer from power first.
The thermistor will have a black and red/white wire on it.
You can check continuity across it with the meter and if the circuit is open then the thermistor needs to be replaced.
When the thermistor circuit is open (>50K ohms), the error code E1 flashes in the display.
When the thermistor circuit is shorted (
Normal thermistor resistance values:

F-43 flashes if the motor control detects a low voltage condition.
This error code could also be caused by poor air flow, loose wiring harness or a malfunction of the electronic control board.
You can disconnect the vent hose from the back of the dryer & compare that airflow to the airflow at the outside damper, they should be almost the same.
If you have a multimeter and the ability to safely check the voltage at the dryer outlet, you can check for 120 volts at the outlet for the dryer.
If the voltage is low or drops when the dryer is running, this is causing your problem.
You could have a loose wiring connection.
If the outlet voltage is okay, you could have a wiring connection problem between the outlet and the control board of the dryer.
