How to Fix Amana Dryer Error F4E3

Error Code: F4E3 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Restricted airflow is detected. This is the same as the ‘AF’ code and can be caused by a clogged lint screen or vent issues.

How to Fix F4E3 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, pull out the dryer’s lint screen and clean it completely, as even a thin layer of lint can restrict airflow.
2. For safety, unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet before checking the vent.
3. Look inside the slot where the lint screen goes and use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to remove any lint that has built up.
4. Carefully pull the dryer away from the wall to get to the exhaust vent hose.
5. Check the hose for any kinks or sharp bends that could be blocking air, then disconnect it and clean it out thoroughly.
6. Go outside and check the vent cover. Make sure the flap can move easily and is not clogged with lint or debris.
7. After ensuring the entire path is clear, reconnect the hose, plug the dryer in, and it should work correctly.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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