How to Fix F-E Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Immediately stop the dryer by pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button.
  2. Unplug the dryer’s power cord from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  3. Let the dryer remain without power for a minimum of 30 minutes to perform a hard reset of the control system.
  4. While it’s unplugged, check the power cord for any signs of damage or fraying.
  5. Plug the dryer back into a secure outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
  6. Select a short, timed dry cycle to test if the error has been resolved.
  7. If the ‘F-E’ code reappears, this indicates a persistent internal fault that needs to be addressed by a service service.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
