Error Code: F8FC Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Speech module power surge detected.
How to Fix F8FC Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dryer from the power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet. For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply valve.
- Access the electronic control board. This is typically located behind the main console. You may need to remove screws from the top or back panel of the dryer to lift or remove it.
- Take a clear photo of the wire connections on the old control board before disconnecting anything. This will be your reference for connecting the new board.
- Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old electronic control board. Most connectors have a small locking tab that needs to be pressed to release the plug.
- Remove the screws or release the clips holding the old control board in place and lift it out of the dryer.
- Install the new electronic control board, securing it with the same screws or clips. Reconnect all the wire harnesses by referring to the photo you took earlier, ensuring each plug is firmly seated in the correct socket.
- Reassemble the dryer’s console and any panels you removed. Plug the dryer back into the power outlet (and turn on the gas supply if applicable) and run a test cycle to ensure the error is cleared and the dryer functions correctly.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
