How to Fix F30 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Start by cleaning the lint screen. Remove it from its housing and thoroughly clean off all lint.
  2. Unplug the dryer from the power source before proceeding with further checks.
  3. Inspect the lint screen housing inside the dryer for any lint buildup that the screen might have missed and use a vacuum to clean it out.
  4. Check the dryer’s exhaust vent at the back. Ensure the ducting is not crushed, kinked, or clogged.
  5. Disconnect the vent from the dryer and clean out the entire length of the ducting to the outside of your home.
  6. Make sure the exterior vent flap on the outside of your house can open and close freely and is not blocked by debris.
  7. Once clear, reattach the vent, plug in the dryer, and start a new cycle.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
