⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: UF Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Fan not running.
How to Fix UF Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Depending on your model, remove either the front or rear panel to access the blower wheel housing.
- Locate the blower wheel, which looks like a hamster wheel. Check for any lint, socks, or other debris that may be jamming it and preventing it from turning.
- Inspect the drive belt. If it is broken, frayed, or has come off the motor pulley, it will need to be replaced.
- If the blower wheel is clear and the belt is intact, the issue may be the drive motor itself. A seized or failed motor will need to be replaced by a professional.
- Check the wiring between the motor and the main control board for any loose or burnt connections.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
