How to Fix F31 Error

This error indicates a problem with the power supply to the dryer. The dryer is not receiving the required 240V.
Check your home’s circuit breaker box. Find the two breakers for the dryer and flip them completely off, then back on.
Ensure the dryer’s power cord is fully plugged into the wall outlet.
If the problem persists, you have an issue with your home’s electrical wiring or outlet, and you must contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to repair this yourself.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
