⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: F-E Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: A general fault has been detected by the dryer’s control system, which may cause it to stop mid-cycle or not heat correctly. An alternating ‘F’ and ‘E’ on the display indicates an internal problem that likely needs professional servicing.
How to Fix F-E Error (Step-by-Step)
- Immediately stop the dryer by pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button.
- Unplug the dryer’s power cord from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Let the dryer remain without power for a minimum of 30 minutes to perform a hard reset of the control system.
- While it’s unplugged, check the power cord for any signs of damage or fraying.
- Plug the dryer back into a secure outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Select a short, timed dry cycle to test if the error has been resolved.
- If the ‘F-E’ code reappears, this indicates a persistent internal fault that needs to be addressed by a service service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
