Error Code: F8E2 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: High limit thermostat error.
How to Fix F8E2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the power outlet to prevent electrical shock.
- Go to your home’s main breaker panel and locate the breaker for the dryer. Turn it fully off, then back on to reset it.
- Check the dryer’s ventilation hose at the back. Ensure it is not crushed, kinked, or clogged with lint, as poor airflow can cause overheating.
- Clean out the lint screen filter thoroughly with soap and water to remove any residue that could be blocking airflow.
- Allow the dryer to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
- Plug the dryer back in and try starting a new cycle.
- If the error returns, the high-limit thermostat may have failed, requiring professional replacement.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
