⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: F22 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Open outlet thermistor or an issue with the temperature sensor.
How to Fix F22 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet. This is a critical safety step.
- Remove the lower front access panel. You will typically find two screws at the very bottom edge of the panel. Remove them and tilt the panel out to unhook it from the top.
- Locate the blower housing, which is the large plastic assembly the lint filter slides into. The outlet thermistor is a small sensor mounted directly on this housing, with two wires leading to it.
- Unplug the wire connector from the thermistor. Squeeze the small plastic tab on the connector to release it and pull it straight off.
- Remove the single mounting screw that holds the old thermistor to the blower housing.
- Install the new thermistor (Part #00422221 or #10010119), secure it with the screw you just removed, and firmly reconnect the wire connector until it clicks.
- Reinstall the lower front access panel, secure it with the screws, plug the dryer back in, and run a cycle to confirm the F22 error is gone.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
